What are the tools available to debug WCF service?.

Depends on what you mean by debug. Certainly there are a lot of tools that are useful when dealing with WebServices and WCF specifically, besides the obvious use of the Visual Debugger or WinDBG. Here are some:

• WCF Tracing
• Service Trace Viewer
• TCP monitoring tools, like WireShark or TCP tunnels like TcpTrace or Fiddler
