Concerning Debugging in TEA and the TEA Software Operating Environment

As with many software systems whether manually engineered or automatically generated, the need to identify and eliminate or resolve errors in the system's implementation --- so-called "bugs" is an important aspect of good and effective software construction and maintenance. In standard Software Engineering parlance, this practice is what is known as "debugging" the system --- or rather "software debugging", and for the case of software implemented using the TEA programming language, is such an important aspect of the language's ecosystem, the debugging mechanisms have been designed and implemented as part of the core language's runtime --- essentially, the TEA debugger is part of the language's Software Operating Environment (SOE), and in this paper, we highlight what features the TEA debugger offers, how it works and what remains to be done so as to help software engineers build robust and error-free software in the TEA language by leveraging the essential software debugging features of the TEA language runtime; tttt.
