This research aims to explore how programmers dissect large programs for debugging purposes.
Conducted an experiment involving programmers debugging unfamiliar programs
Analyzed how programmers identify and utilize slices
Investigated the relationship between statements in program slices
Programmers frequently use non-contiguous slices while debugging
Slices consist of sets of statements connected by data flow
Findings suggest that this approach aids in understanding complex code structure

Mark Weiser (1982) studied this question.
