When debugging applications, we are often interested in the scope at given times while our code is running. Some of the tools given to debug applications are actually session debugging modules. We saw the modules, ServiceNow classes as application debugging, along with others, in the session debugging section. These are:
- Debug business rules
- Debug business rules (details)
- Debug security
- Debug scopes
Business rules and security can be useful whether we are in an application or not, but the scope is very important for application coding. To show how debugging the scope works, we can create a test application, and a business rule for that application, in the application scope.
Once the application and the business rule have been created, we need to click the debug scopes and debug business rules modules in the session debugging. As an example, we can see this when updating an incident in the session debug logging.
We can see this in Figure 9.11:
