What you'll learn

When programs crash or behave unexpectedly, guesswork is not a substitute for a structured debugging process. In this course, Java SE Foundations: Debugging, you’ll learn to identify, investigate, and fix bugs efficiently in Java applications. First, you’ll explore how to understand and fix common runtime exceptions such as NullPointerException and ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. Next, you’ll discover how to evaluate stack traces to locate the true source of problems quickly. Finally, you’ll learn how to use a debugger effectively with breakpoints, variable inspection, and step execution. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of practical Java debugging needed to diagnose and solve problems with confidence.
