I'll confess: I was never very good at bench checking batch programs,
but only had at most a handful of assignments in college: generally
cycles were cheap on time-sharing systems and I quickly adapted to
interactive debugging.
Over time (with embedded systems in networking gear and other
applications), that wasn't possible and the new skill I admired was
being able to add effective logging to diagnose problems. And since most
of those systems were some combination of
real-time/multiprocessor/multithreaded, it was generally not possible to
deterministically repeat the sequence.
