Debugging is usually done by developer. while checking code
(unit testing) or says any changes made by developer, he
first check in debugging mode.
Fixing(removing) the bug is also called as "debugging".
Testing is done by Tester, to discover bugs and get fixed
(debug) from the developer.

Answer / amrit sidhu
Testing find errors,never fix errors.Testing is done by tester, whenever tester(s) find errors ,he/she just report to developer.Much of Testing can be done without knowledge of Design.
Debugging find and fix errors.It is done by developer.
The purpose of debugging is to find errors and to implement programs changes that correct the errors.It demands experimentation and freedom.Debugging is impossible without detailed knowledge of design.
