Delta debugging simplifies debugging process in a program by automating the process and continually splitting the program to smaller chunks called deltas. This technique is useful in three circumstances:*Error occurs due to user inputs (e.g. keypress, file I/O). Delta debugging is used to eliminate user actions irrelevant to the nature of the error and pinpoint the cause of the error.*Error occurs due to recent changes to the code. In this situation, deltas are retrieved from the net differences from both codes.*Multithreading environment. Delta debugging can track down the exact order of operations originating from multiple threads that caused the error.We need to focus on one of these circumstances. Judging from the project description, we should work on the first case, while perhaps opening the door to future expansion.
