A debugger utility allows a graphically or visually created application program to be run in a debug mode. The graphically created program includes a block diagram that, in turn, has plurality of icons. The icons have pins thereby allowing the icons to be interconnected by one or more wire constructs. Using the debugger utility, the developer can insert a break point on any icon, pin or wire construct, preferably through graphical inputs. During execution, the debugger utility automatically pauses the application program when the inserted break points are reached. The debugger utility also changes the appearance of the block diagram during execution in debug mode to illustrate the program's execution sequence. One or more tools are provided that permit the developer to examine the state of the application program, including variable values, while it is being executed in debug mode.
