Paul Butcher writes Debug It! on the premise that in all bug fixing, certain basic principles apply. Butcher teaches an empirical approach to debugging through which readers will learn to use widely available tools for early and automatic bug detection. Additionally, he discusses techniques and approaches on how to build "self-debugging" software that "provides access to crucial internal information and identifies the broken assumptions that lead to bugs."
