1. A method of diagnosing programming errors for a data storage device, the method comprising:

  • receiving a dump file from the data storage device, wherein the dump file comprises program execution data;

    converting the dump file into a plurality of debug stop records, wherein each debug stop record comprises trace information related to a programming error;

    evaluating a first debug stop record relative to a history of debug stop records stored in a history database;

    when the first debug stop record corresponds to a second debug stop record in the history database, providing second resolution information associated with the second debug stop for resolution of the programming error for the first debug stop record; and

    when the first debug stop record does not correspond to any debug stop records in the history database;

    obtaining first resolution information relating to resolution of the programming error for the first debug stop record;

    associating the first resolution information with the first debug stop record; and

    storing the first debug stop record in the history database,wherein the first and second resolution information is generated and entered into the history database by a user and comprises a description of the respective resolution.
