It is just called 'debugging'.

Do not compare a text editing engine with a comercial IDE. Since its just a text editor it only offers text editing features (makes sense?). To add some IDE behavior is possible with extra applications, but most of them are sluggish at best and nowhere as good as what you would find in popular IDE(s). Also gdb native terminal interface is simple enough as it is.
If you really want to go with a terminal based development (personally I think using an open source IDE is much more productive) you should try emacs as it has a 'better' additions of 3rd party tools to create an IDEish environment.

Just run gdb parallelly.
