Well, to put it bluntly, that's a little vague. All of this is going to
depend on what kind of GUI you are wanting to put together and what
features you are wanting it to implement.

You might consider looking at Asterisk GUI to get an idea of how you
could make your own web GUI. Usually I think people just rely on AMI to
achieve that end. Debugging it could mean many things. You might embed
AMI events in your code that can be read by your whatever backend you
have connected to it, or you could rely on Asterisk's own logs for
debugging. How you debug is going to depend on what it is you are
debugging at the time obviously, as it might be the GUI itself,
something between the GUI and Asterisk, or Asterisk itself. In the case
of Asterisk debugging, we have some documentation on that floating
around on wikis and such mostly discussing things like GDB and the debug
logs. Anything outside of Asterisk and that's going to require
implementation specific knowledge of what you are working on.
