Debugging and Analysis
VTS provides you with a set of utilities to assist you with debugging and analysis. These tools can help take the guesswork out of solving problems that might occur while you are developing your applications.
Note: If any of the debugging or analysis applications is not referenced in the VAM, you will have to add it using the instructions provided in Add an Existing Script Application to the VAM. The name of the application directory for each debugging and analysis application is provided below to help assist you in adding them to the VAM.
