Powerful JavaScript debugging environment for Firefox.
A program
debugging is a process that allows to detect and correct programing errors that cause an application to malfunction.
Venkman is the code name of an interesting extension for
Firefox (that it received in honor of one of the main characters in the
Ghotbusters films), called
JavaScript Debugger. As its name indicate, it is a powerful
JavaScript debugging environment, based on
Gecko, compatible with the browsers developed by the
Mozilla Foundation and
Netscape.
JavaScript Debugger allows to operate both graphically as well as from the command line, and offers a collection of tools that will be very useful to
JavaScript developers.
To access the
JavaScript Debugger, once installed, you have to open Firefox, select the "
Tools" menu and click on the applications name. At that moment a small debugging environment will open, where we will be able to view and launch the JavaScript code, manage rupture points, inspect the variables and objects, etc...
