That's explained at the end (Revisions). Fowler is probably looking for a general term that can be used to describe this specific way of debugging. Since he is aware of
git bisect
(and I'm sure he knows abouthg bisect
) there must be a reason he is not preferring "bisect debugging," for example.Edit: The term
diff
has a clear link with version control.bisect
is not that obvious. It may be ambiguous/vague in debugging context. I would still call it "bisect debugging."
