A Python application is experiencing intermittent errors, and you suspect it is due to an unhandled exception in a rarely executed code path. How would you isolate and identify this exception?
- A. Add try-catch blocks around every code section to catch any exceptions that may occur.
- B. Wait for the exception to occur naturally, then analyze the traceback to identify the issue.
- C. Use automated testing to trigger the exception in the rarely executed code path and analyze the error message and stack trace.
- D. Rewrite the rarely executed code path to avoid potential exceptions.
Option C is the correct approach. It involves using automated testing to deliberately trigger the exception in the rarely executed code path, allowing you to analyze the error message and stack trace. Option A is overly broad and not practical. Option B relies on chance and may not be efficient. Option D is a last resort and doesn't help in identifying the issue.
