Debugging and testing is a larger part of the effort spent in a software development cycle. Debugging a program is time consuming and is a continuous cycle of code modification and testing. The task of debugging depends on the environment, the language, the operating system: the problem: and more interestingly even the individual program. In this paper, we present a detailed implementation of software architecture for debugging distributed programs. The debugger based on the proposed architecture supports debugging based on a mechanism for controlling multiple processes, presenting the process states, grouping of processes for ease in controlling the distributed programs developed on PVM based computing paradigm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
