desk check

Jump to user comments

programming To grovel over hardcopy of source code,

mentally simulating the control flow; a method of catching

bugs. No longer common practice in this age of on-screen

editing, fast compiles, and sophisticated debuggers - though

some maintain stoutly that it ought to be.

Compare dry run, eyeball search, vdiff, vgrep.
