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.

Debugging is a process of line by line execution(White Box Testing) of the code/ script with the intent of finding errors/ fixing the defects. Testing is a process of finding the defects from a user perspective(Black Box Testing).
