Welcome to the "Debug with AI" course! This course will guide you through the process of using AI assistant tools to identify, analyze, and fix bugs in a complex codebase. You'll work with a real Snake game project that contains intentional bugs and incomplete implementations.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Systematically identify bugs and issues in multi-language codebases
- Use AI-powered code analysis tools to scan projects for potential problems
- Create comprehensive test coverage to catch bugs early
- Document issues effectively for team collaboration
- Apply AI suggestions to fix identified bugs and verify solutions
You will use AI to find and fix issues in a Snake game project with both Rust backend and JavaScript frontend components.
- Debug a Rust API that handles game logic and state management
- Fix incomplete JavaScript frontend implementation
- Create comprehensive testing strategies
- Develop effective debugging workflows
- Master AI-assisted debugging techniques
This course includes a series of labs to provide you with hands-on experience. Each lab corresponds to a lesson and will guide you through the practical steps for applying debugging techniques using the Snake game project in labs/project/.
- Lab 1: Initial Bug Identification - Identify bugs and issues in the codebase
- Lab 2: Deep Code Analysis and Issue Creation - Analyze code and document detailed issues
- Lab 3: Test Coverage and Bug Fixing - Create comprehensive tests and achieve >80% coverage
- Lab 4: AI-Powered Context Analysis - Use AI to analyze project context and prioritize issues
- Lab 5: Final Review and Implementation - Review learnings and create debugging best practices
The labs/project/ directory contains:
- Snake game backend: Rust API (
snake/src/main.rs) that handles game logic - Frontend: HTML/JavaScript interface (
index.html) with incomplete implementation - Dependencies: Rust project configuration (
Cargo.toml,Cargo.lock)
