Running and debugging client-side human services

When you author a client-side human service, you use the Inspector in IBM Process Designer to iteratively test and observe how the client-side human service behaves at a detailed level. The Inspector can also be used for problem determination and to identify the source of errors.

When you debug the client-side human service, the Inspector enables you to step through each node in the flow to validate that it works as expected. The debugging feature of the Inspector facilitates a more thorough inspection than simply running the service, because it enables you to examine the behavior of each step of the execution flow.

Developers can use the Inspector to demonstrate current service design and implementation in playback sessions. Playback sessions help capture important information from different contributors to ensure that the client-side human service meets the needs of everyone involved.
