Getting Started with Visual Debugger

CA InterTest™ Visual Debugger requires the latest version of the Eclipse plug-in to run. The Visual Debugger view is the default part of CA InterTest™ perspective.

If you have hidden the Visual Debugger view and want to show again, go to Window | Show View | Other.

Customize your visualization

1. Expand the CA InterTest™ node and choose Visual Debugger.

2. Click OK.

3. Adjust the size and the position of a new view according to your preferences.

   The graph appears once you start getting statement trace information.
   The graph is dynamically updated until you hit a breakpoint or the execution finishes.
