  Abstract

Almost all the software development cost is especially spended in the test phase of lifecycle. Backtracking method and program slicing method are often used for debugging. But these have need of abundant experience on debuggers on can''t apply for large scale programs. In this paper, I used informations of design documents which is generally used, and proposed a new determination method of error positions combining backtracking method and program slicing method. I described several fundamental concepts, error classes, standard design documents and determination method of error positions to propose a debugging method, and I explained the process of proposed method using an example program with errors. Finally, I compared and analysed the proposed method with usual slicing methods.
