Abstract:
An apparatus, program product and method identify a potential breakpoint location in a code path in a computer program based upon the frequency of execution of the code path as identified in collected profile data. By doing so, a potential breakpoint location may be identified for an infrequently executed code path and/or a frequently executed code path, and a breakpoint may be set at the identified breakpoint location. As such, breakpoints may be set in locations that may be more likely to assist a user in debugging the computer program and may result in more efficient debugging.
