Abstract
Methods, systems and articles of manufacture comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means therein are provided for debugging multiple related processes simultaneously and more particularly provided for debugging multiple related processes simultaneously from one instance of a debugger. Being able to debug processes simultaneously in one instance of a debugger gives the user more control in recreating the specific ordering of events that generate a failure in processing. Further, being able to debug processes simultaneously from the same instance of a debugger provides usability gains and convenience by, for example, allowing the user to view information flowing between processes and the states of the processes.
