Abstract
A method for displaying a user-defined artifact in a debugger view is provided. The user-defined artifact is defined in a software application that is developed by a computer software application developer. The software application is included in a packaged application that includes instructions, with each instruction being either a user-defined instruction or a non-user defined instruction. A breakpoint is defined at a desired instruction of the packaged application. The method includes initiating debugging of the packaged application and hitting the breakpoint defined at the desired instruction. Also included is identifying the user-defined artifact in the software application and obtaining data to populate the debugger view. Further included is filtering-in data associated with the user-defined artifact and displaying the debugger view showing the filtered-in data. The method also includes marking data not associated with the user-defined artifact and stepping through the user-defined instruction.
