Idiomatic translation of "Debug"

Question

Is there a proper idiomatic translation of "Debug" into the Russian Language? I am not sure about "наладка программы", which I found on en.bab.la

The only traditional and widely used form is "отладка" (and "отладчик" for 'debugger'), for a few decades. But there are new flows. The book "Наука отладки" (http://www.books.ru/books/nauka-otladki-86536/) carries "отладка" on the cover but intentionally uses "наладка" inside through the whole text. I don't have English original (http://www.amazon.com/The-Science-Debugging-Matt-Telles/dp/1576109178) so I can't determine whether it's affected by the latter. And, "наладка" isn't accepted by the community. — Netch, Nov 17 '12 at 13:45
@Artemix after some rethinking I would prefer "наладка" for a particular system installation and configuring, but "отладка" for fixing of a program or component "in vitro". — Netch, Nov 07 '13 at 06:44

If you mean the software context, then it's отла́дка:

отла́дка програ́ммы (debugging of a program)
отла́живать програ́мму (to debug a program)
отла́дчик (debugger)

But sometimes speak on slang (Runglush):

дебаг
дебажить
дебаггер

For example: Вчера весь вечер дебажил программу.

+1 Also, debugger = отладчик, I think you should include that in your answer too – Armen Tsirunyan Jun 19 '12 at 23:17
I have also heard "дебужить" as a slang verb for debug. – Georgy Ivanov Oct 20 '13 at 22:53
I would not include this slang here. It is not Russian. – Anixx Oct 22 '13 at 07:46
I agree. The question was about translation, not about the words used. – texnic Oct 22 '13 at 17:47
