RE: What is the difference between testing and debuggi...

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).

RE: What is the difference between testing and debuggi...

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
