Not necessarily, the clean-room style has no room whatsoever
for debugging tools, since in this approach the development
team does not run or test the code they write, let alone
use debuggers on it! Very high quality software can and
has been written using this approach.
Actually a lot of Ada programmers find that all they really
need is a good symbolic back trace, and many people use a
debugger only to obtain this information.
