Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for testing intermediate language operations. A debugger harness is provided that instruments an intermediate language stream to replace intermediate language operations with equivalent virtual intermediate language operations. A particular intermediate language operation is intercepted from the intermediate language stream and the equivalent virtual intermediate language operation is determined. The virtual machine runs under a debugger harness so that one or more managed applications are executed using the equivalent virtual intermediate language operations. This allows a functionality of the debugger to be tested.
A method for replacing an intermediate language operation with a virtual intermediate language operation comprising the steps of:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to perform steps comprising:
A method for testing a debugger using a debugger harness comprising the steps of:
