It's far better to simply review your source code for
any errors (that is, leaving I/O pins as unconnected/open
inputs).

Of course, but I do not think that you need a meter for that.
Just review yor design for any potential problem/error.

The very symptom that "pointing" or touching the PIC (or
a pin of the PIC) with your finger causes errors is a rather
clear sign of floating/open/unconnected input pin/pins (or an
unconnected MCLR, but that wasn't the case here, right ?).
