6.7 Summary
The software development process is responsible for producing both software and
software bugs. Bugs are an unavoidable consequence. Creating a process to test,
identify, find, and resolve the bugs in the software is a requirement for producing
quality software, and that process needs to be backed by tools that can support it,
or it will invariably fail.
IDEA
's debugger is a sophisticated integration of the Java Platform Debugging
Architecture and provides a rich feature set to help you be contextually aware of
your software as it runs in many different environments. Standard Java applica-
tions, applets, remote application server sites, and several
J2EE
containers are all
supported through the same simple interface.
