Debugger

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000283

A computer program used by software developers to test and find errors in other programs. It allows the developer to run the target program under controlled conditions, pausing execution at specific points (breakpoints) to inspect the state of variables, memory, and processor registers. A debugger can also run a program line by line, a process known as stepping, to trace the flow of execution.
