You can do the so-called binary search, which is
a fancy name for this method

  code_1
  code_2
  code_n
  code_m

then do

  code_1
  code_2
  ;; code_n
  ;; code_m

if it still doesn't work, problem is in 1 or 2, so

  code_1
  ;; code_2
  ;; code_n
  ;; code_m

if it ... etc

And: the better you write the code to begin with, the
better this method will work :)
