Midnight Coders has announced the release of AppPuncher Debugger, the first edition out of four Rich Internet Application testing products slated for release this quarter. AppPuncher Debugger is a client-server testing tool that allows developers to inspect data exchanged between browser and server to understand and diagnose communication problems.

AppPuncher Debugger runs next to an RIA browser-based client (Flex, Flash, AJAX, Silverlight or traditional browser-based applications) registering itself as a proxy that is recognized by Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox. This allows all client requests to be routed through AppPuncher Debugger for inspection. The product offers the following features and benefits:

• Structured and sequential view types
• AMF request/response visualization
• Request/response multiple view type support
• Visualization optimizations
• Debugging remoting requests
• Request/response search and filtering
• Rapid detection and visualization of application faults and invalid requests and responses using custom defined values
• Better accuracy using record, pause and replay features
• Lower cost to test using a single debugging tool that supports AMF0, AMF3, HTTP, and REST/XML.
