Script Debugging Window for Dependency-Aware Breakpoint Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing complexity of applications due to numerous components and dependencies leads to a higher frequency of errors, which current debugging mechanisms fail to efficiently resolve, hindering efficient execution.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that transforms scripts into an executable format, sets breakpoints, and generates a debugging window displaying contextual information such as dependencies, statuses, and values of components, allowing for efficient error resolution through machine learning predictions and interactive interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of components and dependencies in applications increases to enhance capabilities, then application functionality is improved, but error frequency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary debugging system that acts as a mediator between the complex application components and the developer. This system includes a debugging window that displays contextual information, dependencies, and component interactions, allowing developers to identify and resolve errors without directly navigating the complexity of numerous components. The intermediary processing layer analyzes component relationships and presents simplified debugging information.
2Reliability
If traditional debugging mechanisms are used to resolve errors, then error detection is achieved, but execution efficiency is reduced due to repeated reexecution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by displaying contextual information, component dependencies, and execution states in the debugging window before errors manifest or before repeated reexecution is needed. The system proactively presents debugging information including variable values, component states, and dependency relationships, allowing developers to identify and fix issues in advance, thereby reducing the need for repeated script reexecution and improving execution efficiency.
3Ease of operation
If comprehensive debugging information is displayed to facilitate error resolution, then debugging effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the debugging information into distinct, organized sections within the debugging window. The window displays contextual information, component dependencies, execution states, and error details as separate, structured elements. This segmented presentation allows developers to access specific debugging information without being overwhelmed by the entire system's complexity, maintaining ease of operation while providing comprehensive details.

AI summary
Computing systems, methods, and non-transitory storage media are provided for receiving a script to be executed, in response to the script being in a non-executable format, converting the script into an executable script, receiving one or more breakpoints corresponding to the executable script, generating a window to illustrate one or more dependencies among components corresponding to the breakpoints, receiving an input regarding a correction at a breakpoint, and executing the executable script or a portion of the executable script according to the received input.
