I heard about an exciting project while reading the Phoenix.pm mailing 
list. It's a new, automated debugging technique. It only works on C, but 
the techniques should extend well to anything. From the project page at 
http://www.st.cs.uni-sb.de/dd/:

"/The *Delta Debugging project* at Software Engineering Chair, Saarland 
University <http://www.st.cs.uni-sb.de/> investigates a new *automated 
debugging* approach based on systematic testing. With Delta Debugging, 
we can find *failure-inducing circumstances* automatically—circumstances 
such as the program input, changes to the program code, program states, 
or thread schedules./"

It looks very promising. Check it out!
