A debugger is software for executing a computer program in an environment that allows for programming-level inspection and control. A debugger is often used to debug, but can be used for other goals including testing. Common features of a debugger include stepping through code line-by-line, breaking into the program's flow of control, managing breakpoints, and reporting and modifying memory.
