Visual Debugger IntelliJ Plugin

This is the repository for the Visual Debugger IntelliJ plugin.

  • A demo is available on YouTube.
  • A short plugin documentation for developers can be found here.
  • The browser-based UI for the plugin can be found here.

Preprints of my research papers about the Visual Debugger can be found here (ICSME-2022) and here (IDE@ICSE-2024).

Features

  1. The debugger highlights changes by computing a diff using object-diagram-js-differ:

  2. The debugger saves the debugging history such that a user can step back in the UI:
