Kael Rowan (from Microsoft Research) and Andrew Bragdon ( Brown University ) have developed a new application debugging tool based on Visual Studio and the IntelliTrace debugger. This tool is called Debugger Canvas . It offers to have the entire history of the debugger running on a large canvas for visual presentation, plus it offers numerous additional functions for working with code, including the IntelliTrace history.
The video below perfectly demonstrates the approach proposed by the researchers:
The Debugger Canvas project page is available on the Microsoft Research website at this address . There you can find additional information about the project. The announcement of the project was made on this blog .
The authors report that Debugger Canvas will be available to the general public as early as June 2011 on the Microsoft DevLabs website . Only owners of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate will be able to evaluate its work, since only this edition contains the functionality necessary for Debugger Canvas to work.
