An OpenGL-based eclipse plug-in for visual debugging

ABSTRACT

Locating components which are responsible for observed failures is the most expensive, error-prone phase in the software development life cycle. We present an Eclipse Plug-in that aims to fill some of the automatic debugging tools gaps: the lack of a visualization tool that provides intuitive feedback about the defect distribution over the code base, and easy access to the faulty locations.
