Writing automated tests for individual parts of code (functions, classes). While not specific to trading platforms, using a unit test framework (especially in C# for cBots) helps catch logic errors early. MQL has no native unit test framework, but for C# cBots you can create tests in Visual Studio. (For example, test your indicator calculations independently of the trading environment.) This practice aids debugging by isolating faulty code.
