安装软件是一项挑战，特别是对于新手来说。尽管调试的重要性，大多数新手程序员没有被正式教授任何调试技能。本文介绍了一个在线工具，Ladebug，旨在支架调试技能的学习。在这种环境中，学生遵循结构化的调试过程，在预定义的练习中查找和修复错误。总体而言，我们发现学生对该工具持积极态度，并报告练习具有吸引力和帮助。
Debugging software is challenging, particularly for novices. Despite the importance of debugging, most novice programmers are not formally taught any debugging skills. This paper describes an online tool, Ladebug, that is designed to scaffold the learning of debugging skills. In this environment, students follow a structured debugging process to find and fix errors in predefined exercises. Overall, we find that students are positive about the tool, and report the exercises to be engaging and helpful.
