Abstract
A debugger for distributed software running on multiple computer systems analyzes and compares system environments for the multiple computer systems. When a breakpoint occurs, or when a failure in one of the computer systems occurs, the debugger determines when one or more values of interest in the distributed software differ among the different computer systems. The debugger then determines whether the one or differing values correlate to the system environment for the corresponding computer systems. When the one or more differing values correlate to the system environment for the corresponding computer systems, the user of the debugger is notified of the correlation between the differing values and the system environments of the computer systems, to help potentially identify differences in system environments that could be contributing to the differing values.
