Debugging Distributed Web Applications

If you have ever faced the challenges of debugging distributed web applications, then you would definitely want to see how others are doing this and incorporate some of those valuable lessons in your workflow.

Enterprise environments have strict rules that forbid developers to get anywhere near production boxes, and we believe that should be a standard practice in all organisations. Still, how do you chase problems if you can't even go and have a look around?

We introduce fixture-based development and show how it can be used as a debugging method for real life scenarios, with effective results.
