Reproduce, inspect, hypothesis, fix attempt, and notes

Free Debugging Session Timer

Use a debugging session timer for reproduction, inspection, hypothesis, fix attempts, verification, and notes. Create an XTimer room when engineers pair or swarm on a debugging session.

Built for this job

Debugging can move through reproduction, evidence, hypothesis, fix, and verification.

Pairing sessions can avoid jumping into fixes before reproducing the issue.

XTimer rooms support shared debugging timers for pair programming and incident swarms.

Frequently asked questions

What is a debugging session timer?

A debugging session timer structures reproduction, evidence inspection, hypothesis formation, fix attempts, verification, and notes.

Does this debug code automatically?

No. XTimer is only a timing tool. Use your editor, logs, tests, debugger, and observability tools to diagnose and fix issues.

Can engineers share the debugging timer?

Yes. Create an XTimer room when engineers pair, swarm, or debug together.
