Debugging is the development activity that finds, analyses and fixes defects. Unlike testing, which aims to identify defects in the software, debugging is the process that developers use to locate and correct the errors found during testing. This involves diagnosing the root causes of these defects and making necessary code changes to resolve them. Debugging is a critical part of the development cycle and ensures that the software functions correctly after defects are fixed. Reference: ISTQB CTFL Syllabus V4.0, Section 1.1.2

B sounds kinda off, isn't it more about fixing than just confirming?

I remember studying that debugging is more about finding and fixing issues, while testing is about verifying functionality. So, I think C might be the right answer.

I'm a little confused by the wording of these options. Is debugging really just a confirmation activity? That doesn't sound right to me. I'll have to re-read this carefully before answering.

I'm just going to go with C and hope the computer doesn't 'debug' my entire exam. That would be a real pain!
