Algorithmic Debugging in Java Programs

초록

Debugging techniques have been studied with compiler techniques for a long time. Debugging has always been a costly part of software development. Java Language is a representive object-oriented language that is used at the various fields. But debugging techniques locating logical errors in java program have been still used with conventional methods that are used at procedural-oriented languages. Unfortunately, these conventional methods are often inadequate for the task of isolating specific program errors. Debugger users may spend considerable time debugging code of program development with conventional sequential methods according as programs are large and are complicated. In this paper, we apply algorithmic debugging method that debugger user can easily debug programs to java program. This method executes a program and makes an execution tree from calling relation of constructors and methods. And it locates errors at the execution tree. So, algorithmic debugging method can reduce the number of debugging than a conventional sequential method.
