Debugging done by Developers and Testing done by Testing team.Debugging is done to trace out where the error is occurring in order to resolve.Testing is done to find out errors.

Hi (friends) guyyyyyyyyyyyyys

debugging is mainly done by programmer means intially he checks the code once
again before running the code or when errors r occure at that time of running his
code but testing means once programmer sent to production team there
they tested the code based on client requirements but initially the programmer
also done some primary testing that called as unit testing.

just i exressed as i know okkkkkkkkk
take care keep smiling

debugging is done by developers and testers also.If anything goes wrong in script a tester can check his script using debugging.

Testing is finding defects
Debugging is investigating test script or code to find the cause of the defect. Test script is debugged to find if it is correct or not and if it is correct than code is checked to find root cause for a defect

Debugging is to test the program code & Testing is to test the s/w application.

hi friend..

Debugging: once in the developer writes the coding and he runs the code to find out whether the individual module works fine or not in his view.. when he finds an error he starts debugging the code and clears error this is called as debugging.

Testing:
Developers method of debugging is to force the code to work but the same code may fail when it is integrated.. so the individual testing team performs testing types depending on the scope and risk of the project and reposrt bugs.. and the bug is assigned to the developer to has done the project.. This process continues until the bug gets fixed.. Fixing the bug depends upon the severity of the bug...

Thanks

Hi,

The objective of debugging is to rectify the error.

The onjective of testing is to identify the defect.
