RE: What are the relations and differences between testing and debugging?
From a test point of view...

Debugging is the process of finding any bugs or miss-outs in the test scripts created by the test engineer in his/her test scripts....

Where as testing is the process of finding the difference in the application when compared to the functional specifications of the product/project.

RE: What are the relations and differences between testing and debugging?

Testing : is done by testers and they will test the application with an
intention of breaking it


Debugging : is done by Developers in order to make sure that the code they
had written was same as it is intended so for the sake they will use break
points and execute the code statement after statement in order to see the coded
statements and their flow.


Whenever tester raise a defect developers tries to debug the defect by going
to statements after statement in order to find the cause of defect.

RE: What are the relations and differences between testing and debugging?
Debugging is the methodical process of exercising and examining the behavior of predetermined portions of a computer program's sourcecode in order to isolate and repair defects. This task is typically performed by a developer.

Testing is the methodical process of exercising and examining the functional behavior of a program in order to discover and and report defects. This task is performed by testers.

These tasks differ in that debugging takes place on the sourcecode before it is compiled to a single executable while testing takes place on the program after the sourcecode is compiled to its executable.

These tasks are similar in that they are both focused on improving the quality of the software.
