developer console

Code testing panel

A developer console is a tool built into web browsers and software applications that lets programmers view diagnostic information, test code, and debug problems.

In browsers, it shows errors, allows inspection of page elements, and lets you run JavaScript commands.

Video games often have developer consoles for entering cheat codes or tweaking settings: Open the developer console and type the command.
