Modifications can be performed in the running application that is targeted by the script. The scripting tool allows for changes made to the targeted utilities to be tracked. With the help of the Explorer, values can be changed inside Script Debugger and the modifications made to the application running outside of the script will also be reflected in Explorer. In order for users to determine how to refer to an element, specified names can be displayed by Explorer and help can be provided in choosing the appropriate name, depending on current needs.
