Java visual debugger
Abstract
We have developed a visual debugger for Java programs (JVD) that makes use of smooth continuous graphical animation and runtime state history retention to display program state during execution, in order to consider the viability of this approach in the context of both software engineering and computer science education.

Visual Tracing for the Eclipse Java Debugger
CSMR '12: Proceedings of the 2012 16th European Conference on Software Maintenance and ReengineeringIn contrast to stepping, tracing is a debugging technique that does not suspend the execution. This technique is more suitable for debugging programs whose correctness is compromised by the suspension of execution. In this work we present a tool for ...
An explanation-based, visual debugger for one-way constraints
UIST '04: Proceedings of the 17th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyThis paper describes a domain-specific debugger for one-way constraint solvers. The debugger makes use of several new techniques. First, the debugger displays only a portion of the dataflow graph, called a <i>constraint slice</i>, that is directly ...
