For the past few years our group has worked on systems for automatic diagnosis of non-syntactic errors in novices' computer programs (Soloway, et al., 1983; Johnson, 1986; Sack, in press). Such errors (or "bugs") go beyond simple mistakes in the language syntax; they reflect deeper misunderstandings of how an algorithm works and how it should be implemented in that language. Our automatic debuggers are on-line help facilities designed to find such errors in students' programs. To be effective, an automatic program debugger must have methods allowing it to both: Identify errors in computer programs, and Explain to the student the errors it has found.
