Project ABACUS Handbook on Program Documentation and Debugging.

Abstract

Two of the most important elements of a computer programming effort are program debugging and documentation. This report provides an outline of fundamental debugging techniques to be used by Project ABACUS programmers. These are proven techniques that have been developed through experience. Documentation guidelines, based on US Army Regulations, have been established in this report to provide the programmers with standards for program documentation. The development of standardized procedures and thorough program documentation will enable succeeding programmers to assume responsibility for program maintenance expeditiously and with a minimum of confusion.
