JavaScript Debugging Features of Aptana

One of the useful debugging features Aptana provides is the ability to set breakpoints and trace through JavaScript code. When the code is executed, it will pause at the line where the break is placed. The state of any variables are shown throughout the process and each step will execute remaining code at each separate point. This helps by providing a simple way to locate and fix errors and at the same time following the process carried out by the code itself.

The way in which it is done is by splitting each of these methods into views. An explanation of these views can be found on the Aptana site.

There is also a comparison of these debugging features to other tools found here.
