Thanks, @fsbaraglia! Looks good to me. Submitted a few editorial changes and have one question for the 2nd section.

[CathPag]

Sorry, one more comment. Just noticed when reading the entire entry.

While reading the term definition I had the impression that we are mixing up Debugging itself as a process and IDE supported Debugging. Especially the how it helps section focuses on IDE based or to be more general tool based debugging. The other sections read more like the general debugging concept or process. My suggestion is to step back and think about the scope of this term. Is it really about debugging as a process/concept? Or is it about Tool based Debugging?

[fsbaraglia]

@iamNoah1 ok, I will have a look on how to simplify. On the other hand, we should not over complicate.

What is debugging at the end?
A category of tools and multiple techniques to find bugs.
Nothing more and nothing less.
Or am I wrong @CathPag ?

[iamNoah1]

@fsbaraglia sure I am not aiming for complicating things as well :) But for correctness. Consider the following two sentences.

"A category of tools and multiple techniques to find bugs."

"Multiple techniques to find bugs, which can be tool based/assisted"

My opinion is that Debugging per se is not tools, and can be done without additional tooling at all.

But lets see what other folks think. @JasonMorgan @seokho-son @jihoon-seo @CathPag

I think it should be about the concept itself

I'll let the technical approvers chime in. My knowledge ton that subject is very limited.

Ok, I got your point @iamNoah1
Less tool , more on concept right?

if you can please help us and make some suggestions on what to change , really appreciated

[iamNoah1]

@fsbaraglia thanks for the patience. I had to think this one through and made some suggestions. I am keen to hear your opinion :=

[fsbaraglia]

Thanks @fsbaraglia !
LGTM.

I think this PR is ready to be merged.
To make this document live, we need to change status: Feedback Appreciated to status: Completed.
I guess @CathPag can make a final decision ;)

[CathPag]

I think we need to remove two words from one sentence. Please see my comment.
