Question:  What is the difference between testing and debugging?

Answer: Big difference is that debugging is conducted by a programmer and the programmer fix the errors during debugging phase. Tester never fixes the errors, but rather find them and return to programmer.

Testing is the performed by tester with the intent of finding a bug in an application. Upon finding a bug, the tester will be reporting it to development team.

Debugging is the act of fixing the bugs that is reported by either the testing team or by the end users. Debuging is done by the development team
