Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes generating static analysis data by performing static analysis on a program. A breakpoint is set in the program automatically, by a computer processor, based on the static analysis data. The breakpoint is hit during a runtime of the program. A program bug is automatically identified at a context location of the breakpoint when the breakpoint is hit during the runtime of the program. An interactive debugging session of the program is launched automatically at the context location of the breakpoint, based on the identifying the program bug.
