A Debugger RTOS for Embedded Systems
In this paper, a software debugging mechanism for embedded systems is presented. The debugger is a dynamically loadable and linkable module of the operating system. The methodology presented in this paper provides automatic error detection, classification and location capabilities for a set of algorithmic errors. An example implementation of our approach is given for debugging an integer divide-by-zero error.

Killing bugs before they kill your software organization
This article identifies the risks associated with latent software problems, reviews the alternatives development organizations might consider to reduce such risk, discusses the means by which developers can eliminate problems earlier in development, and presents the history, use, and benefits of using a static source code analysis tool to eliminate problems at the source.

Valgrind, an open-source memory debugger for x86-GNU/Linux
Programmers! Make your software Valgrind-clean. Test it with Valgrind and fix all problems Valgrind reports. This will give you some assurance that your code is free of a broad class of memory management errors. You may well find undiscovered bugs, and your code will probably be more stable as a result. It's good for your code, good for you and especially it's good for the people who use your code.

How Debuggers Work : Algorithms, Data Structures, and Architecture
Virtually all programmers and software developers are utilizing debuggers, but few know how to interpret the results they obtain from them. Using a hands-on, problem-solving approach, this unique reference explains how debuggers work, why programmers use them, and then discusses the algorithms involved in the debugging process.
