Debug Flowcharts
RAPTOR tool allows us to add breakpoints to the flowchart. The RAPTOR flowchart execution halts at the break-point. We can analyze the variables and Console windows to debug the flowchart.
Test Server
RAPTOR provides the ability for students to test their flowcharts against a test server.
