Application debugging
A method, a system, and a computer program product for debugging of software applications. A first identifier is assigned to a debugging request received from a software application for debugging a transaction executed by the software application. Based on the assigned first identifier, a connection request to a debugger is executed. The debugger generates an interface to a backend computing system that stores a resolution of the debugging request. A second identifier is associated with the generated interface. Based on the received second identifier, a connection between the software application and the generated interface is established. Using the first identifier, the resolution of the debugging request is obtained from the backend system. The resolution is transmitted to the debugging request for display by the software application.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
assigning a first identifier to a debugging request received from a software application for debugging, by the software application, a transaction executed by the software application, wherein the assigning further comprises receiving the debugging request from the software application using an open data protocol;
executing, based on the assigned first identifier, a connection request to a debugger, the debugger generating an interface to a backend computing system storing a resolution of the debugging request, and associating a second identifier with the generated interface;
establishing, based on the received second identifier, a connection between the software application and the generated interface;
obtaining, using the first identifier, by the software application, via the generated interface, the resolution of the debugging request from the backend system;
transmitting the resolution to the debugging request for display and execution by the software application, wherein the transmitting further comprises transmitting the resolution of the debugging request to the software application using an open data protocol; and
executing, by the software application, the debugging of the transaction using the resolution of the debugging request obtained directly from the backend system.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the establishing further comprises generating a graphical user interface for display by the software application for controlling the debugging of the transaction executed by the software application.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the connection between the software application and the generated interface is established using a WebSocket protocol.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the executing, the establishing and the obtaining is performed using a representational state transfer protocol.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the software application includes at least one of the following: a mobile application, a software application being executed on a mobile computing device, a software application being executed on a non-mobile computing device, and any combination thereof.
6. A system comprising:
at least one programmable processor; and
a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
assigning a first identifier to a debugging request received from a software application for debugging, by the software application, a transaction executed by the software application, wherein the assigning further comprises receiving the debugging request from the software application using an open data protocol;
executing, based on the assigned first identifier, a connection request to a debugger, the debugger generating an interface to a backend computing system storing a resolution of the debugging request, and associating a second identifier with the generated interface;
establishing, based on the received second identifier, a connection between the software application and the generated interface;
obtaining, using the first identifier, by the software application, via the generated interface, the resolution of the debugging request from the backend system;
transmitting the resolution to the debugging request for display and execution by the software application, wherein the transmitting further comprises transmitting the resolution of the debugging request to the software application using an open data protocol; and
executing, by the software application, the debugging of the transaction using the resolution of the debugging request obtained directly from the backend system.
7. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the establishing further comprises generating a graphical user interface for display by the software application for controlling the debugging of the transaction executed by the software application.
8. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the connection between the software application and the generated interface is established using a WebSocket protocol.
9. The system according to claim 6 , wherein at least one of the executing, the establishing and the obtaining is performed using a representational state transfer protocol.
10. The system according to claim 6 , wherein the software application includes at least one of the following: a mobile application, a software application being executed on a mobile computing device, a software application being executed on a non-mobile computing device, and any combination thereof.
11. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
