'''Dynamic Debugging Technique''', or DDT, was the name of several [[debugger]] programs originally developed for [[Digital Equipment Corporation|DEC]] hardware, originally known as '''DEC Debugging Tape''' because it was distributed on [[paper tape]]. The first version of DDT was developed at [[MIT]] for the [[PDP-1]] computer in [[1961]], but newer versions on newer platforms continued to use the same name. After being ported to other vendor's platforms and changing media, the name was changed to the less DEC-centric version.

Today DDT is often used as a generic term for any debugger, and modifications of the [[TLA]] for new programs are common, "adb", "sdb", "dbx", and "gdb" for instance.
