WinDbg

WinDbg is a Windows application for debugging system components, drivers and third-party software. The tool is intended for developers, as it allows you to thoroughly test your code and detect possible errors or deviations. Work with jаvascript scripts is supported, and virtual machines can be used for testing.

Analysis

The application allows you to detect errors occurring at startup or at the software operation stage. A detailed report is provided, which can be uploaded to a file. For this purpose, a memory dump created by the system after a failure is loaded, and then the file is analyzed to find the causes of problems. Additional scripts can be used to extend the functionality. This provides an opportunity to study individual components in more depth. The entire chain of thread calls is also unloaded to view all the stages of the program operation.

Debugging

The utility can also work in program code testing mode to search for new errors. Time travel debugging technology is supported - users can forcefully interrupt code execution and monitor the current state of program modules in real time. The obtained information can be used to analyze and modify the source code. This allows you to eliminate errors that inevitably occur in new projects in a short time regardless of the programmer's qualification. Often the search for bugs takes a significant part of the total time of work on the program. There is support for third-party DLLs that may be required for debugging scripts. This allows you to significantly expand the available functionality.
