Op, if you want to talk about software tests, talk about unit test, system test, stress test and user acceptance test and I will take you serious. |

As a Computer Scientists I will say you can only run Test after you might have debugged a program! Every program built and developed must surely contain errors Debugging is the processing of removing these error...while Testing is the ability of overall testing of the program to be sure the program is error free...

MollyBank: The main goal of debugging is to "detect" which 60% proportion to fixing the error 2 Likes |

Babiboy: Nope, the main purpose of debugging is to FIX while the main purpose of testing is to DETECT. C’mon the answer is in their names already. 1 Like |

soleexx: Nope! “Every programme built must contain errors” surely, so how do you know they have errors? By testing, you can do unit testing first, find errors, fix them before assembling the units, and then testing and debugging continue. Testing is not only testing the overall system, like I said unit testing can be done at low level before high level testing. |

MollyBank: Pls know what you're saying Pls Debugging by developers alone. Debugging means checking your code line by line to see what the output will loOK like when looking for errors. When you input a code into an interpreter the output may bring out error either because of syntax you missing commas, semicolon Semantic where the output isn't giving you the result you envisage like getting an 8 when you expectEd a 9 Or crashing.... Anybody can debug. |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by MollyBank: 10:49am On Aug 01, 2018 |
Buffalowings3: No sir anybody cannot debug!!! So you mean non- developers who don't know what code is can debug? My dear this is one one of the first questions they ask in Software testing interviews. Get it right baby boy, Anybody cannot debug. Lmao. 1 Like |

Buffalowings3: Wrong, anybody cannot debug. You said there, checking codes line by line, who checks those codes? Anybody? People with no clue what codes mean? You might wanna go and google and read some articles on software testing and debugging. |

ROSYL: The interpreter comes with debugger na. And you can specify the specific line you want to check for error. Modified Ok |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by Nobody: 11:04am On Aug 01, 2018 |
Buffalowings3: You are funny. Many software testers don’t know what interpreter is, now can they debug? I think it’s time you defined what you mean by anybody. |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by soleexx(m): 11:07am On Aug 01, 2018 |
ROSYL: modulation of programs software! definitely unit test is very important! |

Buffalowings3: Anybody can debug Ah. Wahala dey o In this age of emphasis on clean and well formatted code to ease maintenance by developers, you're now saying a non developer can debug?? |

MollyBank:This isn't so true. Network engineers use The Debug command in their routers or switches CLI to get a live feed of the network operation. That way you can observe whats going on in real time and be able to trace problems if need be. So not only software developers use debugging, Network engineers do too and they are not developers. |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by MollyBank: 2:34pm On Aug 01, 2018 |
chukzyfcbb: I think comprehension is the problem here. I said not everybody can debug! I'm into IT world but don't know a jack about debugging. That's my argument. Debugging of software is mainly done by developers/programmers, and that doesn't mean non-programmers can't debug. It's simple. I'm done with this argument, it gives me headache abeg. |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by Nobody: 2:39pm On Aug 01, 2018 |
MollyBank: That’s right! I’m a QA analyst, software tester Precisely, working in a scrum team. I didn’t know anything about debugging till I started programming. Our job is to write test cases, identify bugs, log them and pass them on to developers to fix. Like you said, not everybody including techie can debug. In fact it was one of my interview questions. |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by chukzyfcbb: 6:32pm On Aug 01, 2018 |
MollyBank:well you just explained what was lacking formerly. DEBUGGING OF A SOFTWARE, can only be done by programmers. however don't say that programmers are the only ones who debug, rather say that software debugging is done by programmers to make it understandable. |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by MollyBank: 8:31am On Aug 02, 2018 |
chukzyfcbb: How about you show me where i said debugging is ONLY done by programmers? |

soccerepe: OP you have missed fired as a result of your weeding diet,you will have to rewrite your thesis again for defense,go back and learn UAT(User Acceptance testing) first before you will stand in this arena to speak on this topic...don't speak about what you don't know about. |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by PcashMojo(m): 3:45pm On Aug 03, 2018 |
chukzyfcbb: What do you mean by debug command in routers or switches CLI?Do you know network administrators troubleshoot the network using command line language?you can't just open powershell without knowing powershell commands for network admin,go and learn powershell commands for network administration,maybe you are talking about the web interface the router settings,I guess. |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by chukzyfcbb: 4:13pm On Aug 03, 2018 |
PcashMojo:Lool This comments shows you are not a network admin. You don't even know the full meaning of CLI, otherwise you would have deleted that sentence command line. Debugging command is the 7th level of a syslog command, its used sparingly because you can overload your device with numerous processes.. If you don't know that the debug command is used in Networking, then You are either a baby network admin or you are just ignorant |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by PcashMojo(m): 4:36pm On Aug 03, 2018 |
chukzyfcbb: Mr.too know I asked you a question and you acting like a verbose app,what prevent you from saying Command Line Interface,do I know If you did copy and paste,go learn CLI Command Modes before you start forming local champion here. CLI Command Hierarchy EXEC Mode Commands Configuration Mode Commands Then maybe you I can reason in a term you might understand. |
Re: Differences Between Testing And Debugging In Programming Of Software Application by chukzyfcbb: 5:23pm On Aug 03, 2018 |
PcashMojo:CLI modes? lol. Oga abeg Goodnight o, nah vex. |
