An Interactive Debugging Environment

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and process for debugging of a computer program is described, which includes a function configured for including mark-up information marking certain methods as special fields in a source code of the application program, such annotations denoting debugging instructions and indications of which methods are intended for debugging only.

TL;DR: This paper presents the results of a systematic attempt at defining the user interface to an environment for program debugging, program performance evaluation and program structure analysis.

TL;DR: The paper shows that the proposed abstraction mechanisms are powerful tools for monitoring program activity, and adequately support different debugging techniques, and offer the user a considerable degree of control over the debugging experiment.

TL;DR: In this article, a process and system for debugging of a computer program is described, which involves including mark-up information into source code of the application program, generating a debug-enabled version of the computer program, including debugging methods based on the markup information, and providing the debugenabled version to a debugger for debugging purposes using the debugging methods.

TL;DR: The major differences between debugging a distributed system and debugging a sequential program are described and a methodology for distributed debugging is suggested and various tools or aids are proposed.

TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to convince the skeptic that claims that many classical programmers regard as bordering on the impossible are, in fact, achievable without resorting to obscure software magic or arm-waving.
