Abstract
In software engineering, debugging is a most tedious job. Finding and correcting the bug takes much more time and effort than coding. Many researchers have worked for making the debugging process easier. Many existing debugging techniques are available. Here, in this paper, we review various new emerging trends of software debugging techniques which is mostly used by the developers or testers for a particular application.
