The type of software utilized for debugging and troubleshooting code is known as debuggers. Debuggers allow developers to step through their code, set breakpoints, and inspect variable values in real-time to identify issues. These tools facilitate error detection and help optimize code performance. Many integrated development environments (IDEs) come with built-in debugging capabilities, making it easier for developers to diagnose problems efficiently. Common debuggers include GDB for C/C++, the Chrome Developer Tools for JavaScript, and Visual Studio's built-in debugger for .NET applications. Debuggers play a critical role in the software development lifecycle.
