A developer is creating a playbook that should only run certain tasks if the incident severity is high. They want to test the playbook with both high and low severity incidents to ensure the conditional logic works. What is the best way to do this?

Run the playbook in production with real incidents of different severities.

Write a unit test using the XSOAR SDK to test the conditional logic.

Use the debugger to modify the incident severity during a single run to test both paths.

Create two test incidents with different severities and run the playbook in debug mode on each, setting breakpoints on the conditional task.

A developer is debugging a playbook that uses a custom script to parse email headers. The script is not producing the expected output. They want to see the exact input that the script receives and the output it produces. What is the best way to do this?

Check the integration's logs for the script execution.

Set a breakpoint on the script task and inspect the task's input and output panels in the debugger.

Run the script in a separate Python environment with sample data.

Add a 'Print' task after the script to log the input and output to the war room.

Which of the following capabilities does the XSOAR playbook debugger provide?

The ability to set breakpoints and step through playbook execution

Automated code review and security scanning of playbook tasks

Direct modification of the playbook source code in the debugger

Automatic rollback of playbook changes after debugging

What is the purpose of exception paths in a playbook when debugging?

To define alternative tasks that run when a task fails

To skip tasks that are not critical

To automatically retry failed tasks
