Here is Part-01 of Debugging Help Doc

Being an SDET or Automation tester many times we have to work with existing frameworks or packages, in that case we struggle to figure out a way to debug on failures. Below are some of the plugins you can add to your IDE which will make your life easier.

Install useful plugins

Your IDE is an invaluable tool for understanding code. Editors like Visual Studio, VS Code, Eclipse, and IntelliJ IDEA live and die by the strength of their code parsing abilities and the size of their plugin libraries. Whatever language, framework, or cloud service you’re working with, it should take a few moments to install the associated plugins. This will help you navigate your codebase and notice problems more quickly. Official, first-party plugins are best if you can find them, but popular community-supported plugins can be excellent as well.

Look for the following features:

Syntax highlighting: shows keywords, class/method/field/variable names, and brackets in different colors to aid comprehension.
Auto-formatting: modifies whitespace, line length, and other elements of style to be more readable and consistent. You can usually set this up to happen on a keyboard shortcut or every time you save a file.
Static analysis: alerts you to problems in your code without actually running it. For example, if you misspell a variable name or use the wrong kind of quotes, the static analysis tools built into your IDE or all-in-one language plugin will underline it in red.
Contextual navigation: provides menu options like “Jump to Definition,” “See Implementations,” and “See References” when you open the context menu (right click) on an identifier.
Refactoring: automates common refactors like extracting logic to a method, changing method parameters, or renaming a variable.
Code hinting: shows information (such as types, parameters, and handwritten documentation) about a class/method/field when you hover your cursor on it.
Test runner: provides a UI for running unit and integration tests and reports the results.
Debugger: lets you set breakpoints in your code so you can step through a particular process one line at a time and inspect the values in scope.
Version control integration: helps you sync and merge codes with the rest of your team. It also provides information about the author and the last edit date of each line of code.

You can read code without these tools, and sometimes you might have to. But language-specific tooling makes it easier to check your assumptions and gather context, and you’re more likely to do what’s easy. In the end, better tooling usually means less guesswork.
