Hi Community,
While working on a personal ServiceNow project in my Personal Developer Instance, I quickly realized that building features is one thing — debugging them is another.
A few practices that helped me significantly:
• Use system logs intentionally instead of adding random print statements
• Break complex logic into smaller testable pieces
• Test flows and scripts incrementally rather than all at once
• Check execution order when multiple Business Rules are involved
• Review conditions carefully — many issues come from overlooked logic checks
Even in a small learning project, structured debugging saved a lot of time and confusion.
Sharing this in case it helps others working through tricky issues.
Question to the community:
What debugging technique has saved you the most time in ServiceNow?
Looking forward to learning from your experiences.
