Study Notes
Introduction to Debugging and Debugger Tools
- The purpose of this lab is to learn how to debug using Eclipse and/or IntelliJ built-in debugger tools.
- The lab aims to provide an overview of different approaches to debugging in combination with debugger tools.
- Debugging is the process of localizing the source of a failure in the code and determining the cause behind it.
- Debugging can involve looking at code, running the code and checking the console log, or using a debugger.
- A debugger is a tool that can be used to debug a failure in the code.
- A breakpoint is a line of code or program where the execution of an application will pause.
- A watchpoint is a data item that, when its value changes, causes the execution of the application to pause.
- The terms "using a debugger" and "debugging" are not synonymous.
- The lab will cover several debugging heuristics that can be used in combination with debugger tools.
- The lab will also introduce some useful vocabulary related to debugging.
- The lab will be focused on using the Eclipse and/or IntelliJ built-in debugger tools.
- The goal of debugging is to identify and fix the cause of a failure in the code.
