== History ==
Script Debugger version 1.0 was released in [[1995]] by [[Mark Alldritt]]. It was a [[third party]] alternative to [[Apple Computer]]'s [[freeware]] application, [[Apple Developer Tools#Script Editor|Script Editor]]. Its competitors at that time included [[ScriptWizard]] and [[Main Event Software]]'s popular [[Scripter (software)|Scripter]]. These two products today are defunct, leaving the only other competitors in the field being [[Satimage]]'s [[Smile (software)|Smile]] and [[integrated development environment]]s such as [[FaceSpan]] and [[AppleScript Studio]].
Script Debugger contained several notable features: it was "scriptable," (it could be used to create scripts to control itself), ''recordable'', (it could create scripts based on user actions), and ''attachable'', (scripts could be written to respond to [[Event-driven programming|events]]). More importantly, Script Debugger allowed inspection of running applications, to see what events they were emitting. True to its name, Script Debugger also contains a full debugger, with support for breakpoints.
