Abstract
Embodiments for debugging program code are provided. In response to a debug comparison request, (i) a first set of debugging operations are initiated on a first portion of program code selected from an original version of a program, and (ii) a second set of debugging operations are initiated on a second portion of program code selected from a revised version of the program. The second portion of program code corresponds to the first portion of program code. Execution of the first and second portions of program code is synchronized. The first and second set of debugging operations are stopped in response to determine that at least one of a first and a second stop condition exists based, at least in part, on a comparison of the results from executing one or more lines of corresponding code from the first and second portions of program code.
