Task Builder Debug Panel
Overview
A variety of testing and debugging features are included in the Task Builder to ensure that newly constructed tasks are working properly before they are put into production. Some debug features allow you to arrange your task steps into sections or mark certain steps features enable you to provide verbose, real time information about a running task, allowing you to easily monitor and examine many aspects of your project as it is being constructed. With the use of the Debug panel, you can perform a series of “test runs” within the Task Builder interface and use a variety of intuitive debugging and diagnostic toolsets to determine the cause of a problematic task.
