Abstract:
1. A debugging method comprising: initiating, via one or more computing devices, a first instance of an application to be debugged; initiating a second instance of the application to be debugged, wherein the first instance and the second instance are distinct; defining a common command to be executed by the first instance of the application to be debugged and the second instance of the application to be debugged; processing the common command to determine which functions to call and which code to execute on the first instance and the second instance of the application based upon, at least in part, the common command; automatically setting breakpoints within the code of the first instance and the second instance of the application; simultaneously executing the common command by the first and second instances of the application to be debugged; monitoring, based upon the automatically set breakpoints, at least one data component associated with the first and second instances of the application; and displaying a value of the at least one data component associated with the first instance of the application and a value of the at least one data component associated with the second instance of the application, wherein the value of the at least one data component associated with the first instance of the application and the value of the at least one data component associated with the second instance of the application are simultaneously displayed within a single user interface.
