Abstract: A method and system for debugging memory allocation and memory release may include recording execution events of an execution run of a program including data related to objects pertaining to that program, and data related to object association pertaining to that program at a plurality of points in time. The method may also include receiving via a user interface a user selection of an object of said objects. The method may further include identifying one or a plurality of pointers pointing from one or a plurality of objects at the selected object based on the recorded data related to object association and finding one or a plurality of execution events of said execution events corresponding to assignments of said one or a plurality of pointers. The method may further include distinctly marking a portion of the code, presented to the user on a display device, representing said one or a plurality of execution events that correspond to assignments of said one or a plurality of pointers.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product is disclosed that for debugging errors in software code. According to some approaches, techniques are provided for performing on-the-fly switching from compiled to interpretive debugging for a software program. The test starts with compiled code, and when it needs to stop for debugging, the debugging occurs in interpretive mode. Once debugging has concluded, the execution can switch back to compiled mode. In this way, the debugging activities can achieve the speed and efficiency of using compiled optimized executables, while still being able to allow debugging without performing any recompilations.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for debugging a program is disclosed. The method may include obtaining data on inter-component calls of a call chain of an execution run of the program between segments of Multilanguage software components of the program, the data relating to the identity of the Multilanguage software components in which these segments are included and an order in which the segments are called in the call chain. The method may further include obtaining a user selection relating to one of the segments of the Multilanguage software components that were called in the call chain. The method may also include invoking a debugger designed for debugging the software component of the Multilanguage software components that includes the selected segment and displaying a user interface of that debugger on a display device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method, system, and computer program product that reduces the size of a failing test. A tree is created from the test's programming code, where the tree represents the syntactical and the semantic bounds between the programming code elements. By analyzing this tree and iteratively pruning the irrelevant sub-trees it is possible to eliminate many non necessary parts of the code, and recreate a new legal test, which represents the same error, but is potentially much smaller and therefore easier to understand and debug.
