Debugging software

Software & technology · O*NET

Debugging software is a software tool tracked in the Program testing software category of O*NET's Technology Skills file. It appears in the technology profile of 13 occupations that together employ about 1,733,210 workers, with a median wage of $98,670.

Across the occupations that use it, the work is 73rd percentile for AI task-exposure (High) — how much of what those jobs do overlaps with what today's AI can attempt. That measures the exposure of the work, not the value of the tool or any sign it is being replaced. See where every tool category sits →
