ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a debugging application operable to synchronize debug information associated with multiple software components to a common frame of reference. These multiple software components may be executed on a common platform and may have distinct diagnostic applications associated with them. This debugging application includes a first diagnostic application operable to gather output diagnostic information associated with the first software application. A second diagnostic application gathers output debug information associated with a second software application. A diagnostic agent receives the diagnostic information associated with both the first software application and the second software application and may combine these using a common frame of reference. This information may then be outputted by the debugging application to an external diagnostic monitor. This eliminates the need for individual operators to cross-reference sources of debug information and in so doing provide an improved debugging environment for development and testing of both application and operating system software applications.
