This is the first small step to try to allow upgrades to happen
with less issues.

With the Automated Test Framework, you create and run automated tests on
your ServiceNow instance. When you upgrade or change an instance, run
these tests to confirm that the instance still works as designed.

Initially it could open a form, set field values, test values, and submit the form.

## [Script Debugger](#script-debugger)

Wow. The Script Debugger allows application developers to debug
server-side JavaScript. The Script Debugger allows each application
developer to:

Have a dedicated debug transaction, which applies to the current session.
- Set and remove breakpoints.
- Pause the current session at a breakpoint.
- Step through code line-by-line.
- Step into and out of function and method calls.
- View the value of local and global variables.
- View the value of private variables from function closures.
- View the call stack.
- View the transaction the system is processing.
- Turn off the script debugger to resume running paused scripts.

## [HR Service Management (Scoped)](#hr-service-management-scoped)

Before Istanbul the HRSM was a “global” application. After Istanbul it
is now scoped. They are separate, but going forward the scoped
version has been getting all the attention.
