Abstract: In a program debugging system for debugging a program having a graphical user interface (GUI), a translator program for translating a source program into a machine language program includes a GUI information output function for extracting information of a GUI parts from the source program and outputting a GUI information relating an operation descriptor describing an operation of the GUI parts, with the GUI parts itself. A debugger includes a break condition setting function for retrieving the source program with reference to the GUI information, to find out the operation descriptor corresponding to the GUI parts designated on a computer display screen, and for setting the break condition for the operation descriptor retrieved. Thus, a trouble or load for a program analysis at the program debugging time is omitted and the debugging procedure is simplified, so that efficiency of the program development and quality of the program developed are elevated.
