Testing and debugging branching programs; Intro Java course Lesson 3 Video 8

This series of videos is suitable for programmers with minimal (or no) programming experience who want to learn Java. This is the seventeenth video in the Introductory Java series, and the eighth video in lesson 3 (branching). In this video we're going to look at how to test and debug a branching program.

There is a suggested (free) book below that you could read along with the videos lessons. However, the video is very straightforward and can also stand alone or accompany any other introductory Java textbook. Let's have some fun learning to program in Java!
