The recent surge in interest in quantum computing has led to the emergence of quantum-native software development: a multidisciplinary field that combines quantum information theory, classical software engineering, and system-level orchestration. Hybrid quantum-classical systems, particularly noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware, which is of interest in the short term, demand interoperability between quantum computation hardware and classical computing resources. The paper takes a broad look at the entire scenario of quantum-native development, in particular, in terms of tooling, design patterns, and debugging paradigms. We conduct a comprehensive survey, including the examination of compiler platforms, SDKs, debugging tools, and simulators. Their new tendencies include quantum workflow orchestration, hybrid execution graphs, circuit reuse, and noise-aware algorithm design, all of which are covered in detail. We also examine the difficulty of debugging with two paradigms: quantum mechanics and classical determinism. Through comparative studies of current frameworks, such as Qiskit, Cirq, and PennyLane, and practical tests of benchmarks, including VQE and QAOA, we will provide guidance to developers, researchers, and system architects working on quantum computers. The article proposes a taxonomy of tools as layered, a pattern repository, and a framework for a debugging pipeline to facilitate future work in both research and implementation. The conceptual contributions are presented in context through tables, flowcharts, and visual references. Overall, the purpose of this paper is to take a step towards the process of quantum software engineering, which would enable the developer community to explore a fresh landscape of quantum-native development
