IDA Pro as a disassembler is capable of creating maps of their execution to show the binary instructions that are actually executed by the processor in a symbolic representation (assembly language). Advanced techniques have been implemented into IDA Pro so that it can generate assembly language source code from machine-executable code and make this complex code more human-readable. The debugging feature augmented IDA with the dynamic analysis. It supports multiple debugging targets and can handle remote applications. Its cross-platform debugging capability enables instant debugging, easy connection to both local and remote processes and support for 64-bit systems and new connection possibilities. IDA Pro allows the human analyst to override its decisions or to provide hints so that the analyst can work seamlessly and quickly with the disassembler and analyze binary code more intuitively.

weinre is WEb INspector REmote. Pronounced like the word "winery". Or maybe like the word "weiner". weinre is a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for Firefox) and web inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it's designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you to debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone. weinre was built in an age when there were no remote debuggers available for mobile devices. Since then, some platforms are starting to provide remote debugger capabilities, as part of their platform toolset. weinre reuses the user interface code from the web inspector project at WebKit, so if you've used Safari's web inspector or Chrome's Developer Tools, weinre will be very familiar. In normal usage, you will be running the client application in a browser on your desktop/laptop, and running a target web page on your mobile device. weinre does not make use of any 'native' code in the browser, it's all plain old boring JavaScript.

Stetho is a sophisticated debug bridge for Android applications. When enabled, developers have access to the Chrome Developer Tools feature natively part of the Chrome desktop browser. Developers can also choose to enable the optional dumpapp tool which offers a powerful command-line interface to application internals. Alternatively, you can include Stetho from Maven Central via Gradle or Maven. Only the main Stetho dependency is strictly required, however you may also wish to use one of the network helpers. The integration with the Chrome DevTools frontend is implemented using a client/server protocol which the Stetho software provides for your application. Network inspection is possible with the full spectrum of Chrome Developer Tools features, including image preview, JSON response helpers, and even exporting traces to the HAR format. SQLite databases can be visualized and interactively explored with full read/write capabilities.

GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on 'inside' another program while it executes - or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior. Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped. Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to learn about another. Those programs might be executing on the same machine as GDB (native), on another machine (remote), or on a simulator. GDB can run on most popular UNIX and Microsoft Windows variants, as well as on Mac OS X. Inferior objects now contain a read-only 'connection_num' attribute that gives the connection number as seen in 'info connections' and 'info inferiors'. New method gdb.Frame.level() which returns the stack level of the frame object.

GNU DDD is a graphical front-end for command-line debuggers such as GDB, DBX, WDB, Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger bashdb, the GNU Make debugger remake or the Python debugger pydb. Besides usual front-end features such as viewing source texts. DDD has become famous through its interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs. You can support the principle of software freedom by buying stuff from the FSF shop. To run DDD, you need the GNU debugger (GDB), version 4.16 or later (or depending on the program to be debugged, possibly other command-line debuggers such as Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger bashdb, the GNU Make debugger remake, or the Python debugger pydb).

Optimize ML models by capturing training metrics in real-time and sending alerts when anomalies are detected. Automatically stop training processes when the desired accuracy is achieved to reduce the time and cost of training ML models. Automatically profile and monitor system resource utilization and send alerts when resource bottlenecks are identified to continuously improve resource utilization. Amazon SageMaker Debugger can reduce troubleshooting during training from days to minutes by automatically detecting and alerting you to remediate common training errors such as gradient values becoming too large or too small. Alerts can be viewed in Amazon SageMaker Studio or configured through Amazon CloudWatch. Additionally, the SageMaker Debugger SDK enables you to automatically detect new classes of model-specific errors such as data sampling, hyperparameter values, and out-of-bound values.

Quickly find performance bottlenecks and visualize what is going on in a complex C/C++ application. Orbit is a standalone profiler and debugging tool for Windows and Linux. Its main purpose is to help developers understand and visualize the execution flow of a complex application. By giving a bird’s eye view of what is happening under the hood, Orbit gives the developer a deeper understanding of complex systems and allows them to quickly find performance bottlenecks. Orbit works out of the box on any C/C++ application, as long as it has access to the Pdb file. Start profiling as soon as you finish downloading Orbit. Orbit injects itself into the target process and hooks into selected functions. It works even on your highly optimized final/shipping builds. Sampling is great when you don’t know where to start looking. Orbit’s sampling is fast, robust, and “always on”. Orbit combines sampling and dynamic instrumentation to optimize the profiling workflow.

VisualVM monitors and troubleshoots applications running on Java 1.4+ from many vendors using various technologies including jvmstat, JMX, Serviceability Agent (SA) and Attach API. VisualVM perfectly fits all the requirements of application developers, system administrators, quality engineers, and end users. For each process VisualVM shows basic runtime information: PID, main class, arguments passed to java process, JVM version, JDK home, JVM flags and arguments and System properties. VisualVM monitors application CPU usage, GC activity, heap and metaspace / permanent generation memory, number of loaded classes and running threads. VisualVM provides basic profiling capabilities for analyzing application performance and memory management. Both sampling and instrumentation profilers are available.
