A minimally intrusive debugging system for use by multiple users for concurrently and independently debugging a common software target in a client and server debugging environment. The target software is a non-compiled interpreted script-type program that is individually controlled by independent client debugging sessions. Each debug engine in the client's debugging session is used to control the target software program using debug system library interface calls that are integrated into the executing target software program. The debug system library interface calls facilitate communication of target system program events to the client's debug engine and to extract internal operational information from said target software program by the client debug engine and target software program interface on each client computing device. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Multiple User Computing Environment--FIG.
1 FIG.
1 illustrates a block diagram example of a computer system 100 in a multiple user debugging environment.
The multiple user debugging system of the present invention is operable in any of several standard computing systems readily available in the industry such as computer system 100.
The target software, the debugging system, and any other programmed instructions and/or commands for the debugging system are executable on processor 102.
Processor 102 stores and/or retrieves programmed instructions and/or data from memory devices that include, but are not limited to, Random Access Memory (RAM) 110 and Read Only Memory (ROM) 108 by way of memory bus 152.
Another accessible memory device includes non-volatile memory device 112 by way of local bus 150.
User input to computer system 100 is entered by way of keyboard 104 and/or pointing device 106.
Human readable output from computer system 100 is viewed on display 114 or in printed form on local printer 115.
Alternatively, computer system 100 is accessible by remote users for debugging, input, and/or generating human readable displays in printed and/or display screen output form or any other output form by way of Local Area Network (LAN) 116.
Process Configuration--FIG.
2 FIG.
2 illustrates a process configuration for the multiple user debugging system 200 having client processes 210 and 220, and server process 230.
Client processes 210 and 220 respectively include, but are not limited to, a target interface 211 and 221, and a debug engine 212 and 222.
Server process 230 includes, but is not limited to, a target software process 231 and a Server Debug Interface (SDI) 232.
The SDI 232 is operatively connected to the target software process 231 by communication path 240, and to each debug engine 212 and 222 by communication paths 241 and 242 respectively.
Each debug engine 212 and 222 is operatively connected to the respective target interfaces 211 and 221 by communication paths 245 and 246 respectively
