A computer program code debugging method and system is proposed, which is designed for use in conjunction with a computer platform for providing a user-operated computer program code debugging function on a faulty computer program such as a BIOS program; and which is characterized by the capability of automatically collecting all the constituent routines of a faulty computer program and computing for the runtime address of these routines so that the user can utilize the runtime breakpoint address of the faulty program as a keyword to find the problem-causing routine that contains the breakpoint address and thereupon can focus the debugging process solely on that routine rather on the entire program. This feature allows software engineers to more conveniently and efficiently debug a faulty computer program.
