Software development as an activity that can be fun if you really like what you are doing, but it has some tasks that are certainly a headache and debugging is one of them. It’s not a pleasant thing to do, but it’s also an essential part if software development. Therefore, if there is an application that can give a hand with this work then surely all software developers will receive it gladly.
FireBug can be a great help and much more because it has the ability to do a big part of the hard work for you. FireBug is not really a standalone application, but a small Firefox extension that will give you the possibility to have control over editing, monitoring debugging HTML, JavaScript, CSS and Ajax through a combination of a command line, powerful debugger, code inspectors and error console. The debugger is the most important function of FireBug by far, but there many other minor ones included. What makes the debugger so special is the fact that it has the ability to automatically check your code line by line.
Several breakpoints will be set by the debugger which has the goal to examine all the execution steps (all this in real time). There is also a quick way to know if and when your web page gets broken by using the FireBug icon which can be found in the Firefox status bar. To see precisely what is the problem all you have to do is open the FireBug panel. You can say goodbye to the old method of scouring throughout all the script in the JavaScript Console window. The extension can be opened in a separate window or at the bottom of you internet browser as a bar. An an extra feature, FireBug allows you to create a some sort of blacklist which will contain all the web sites you want it to exclude.
Overall, FireBug will surely be a great help for any software developer that has gone crazy of all the debugging, providing a very fast, painless and easy way of developing their code.
