Python vs. Tayt vs. Wing Python IDE vs. Xdebug Comparison Chart

Tayt is a StarkNet smart contract fuzzer. We recommend using a Python virtual environment. When starting you will see the properties to be checked and the external functions used to generate a sequence of transactions. Eventually, if a property is violated a call sequence will be presented with the order of functions to be called, the respective arguments passed, the caller address, and the events emitted. With Tayt, you can test a contract that deploys other contracts.

Xdebug is an extension for PHP, and provides a range of features to improve the PHP development experience. A way to step through your code in your IDE or editor while the script is executing. An improved var_dump() function, stack traces for notices, warnings, errors, and exceptions to highlight the code path to the error. Writes every function call, with arguments and invocation location to disk. Optionally also includes every variable assignment and return value for each function. Allows you, with the help of visualization tools, to analyze the performance of your PHP application and find bottlenecks. Shows which parts of your code base are executed when running unit tests with PHPUnit. Installing Xdebug with a package manager is often the fastest way. You can substitute the PHP version with the one that matches the PHP version that you are running. You can install Xdebug through PECL on Linux & macOS with Homebrew.
