<p>BlackBox is symfony like unobstrusive debug bar attached to the top of the browser window.</p>
<p>How can it help you with development:<br />
1. instantly inspect global variables (GET, POST, COOKIE, SERVER)<br />
2. debug both frontend and admin area<br />
3. executed MySQL queries and time it took to execute each query (useful for finding slow queries)<br />
4. profiler for measuring performance of your plugins and themes<br />
5. errors occurred when loading WordPress page</p>


BlackBox Debug Bar

Immediate feedback on a great majority of errors. Added a conditional red background to the Errors, and with this modification I have never miss even a notice anymore.

Thank you very much!

Essential plugin in my developer toolset

BlackBox is a plugin for plugin and theme developers. It collects and displays useful debug information (errors, executed queries, globals, profiler).
