Debugging Scripts

A good debugger provides a debugging environment that extends an ActiveX Scripting host application.

There are many third party script debuggers available. A quick search of the internet using the keywords “script debugger” will reveal several.

The debbugger you choose should enable you to do the following:

  • View the source code of the script you are debugging.

  • Control the pace of script execution with break points and stepping.

  • View and change variable and property values with the Command Window.

  • View and control script flow with the Call Stack Window.

  • View the script objects of the targeted applications.
