Execution Trace & Root Cause Analyzer in Zia

Execution Trace & Root Cause Analyzer in Zia


Integrating this capability into Zia would significantly enhance debugging and transparency.
1. Execution Trace Timeline
A visual, step-by-step timeline of system activity for any event (e.g., form submission), including:
  • Sequence of triggered workflows
  • Deluge scripts executed
  • Field-level data changes at each step
2. Root Cause Analysis
Instead of only displaying logs, Zia should interpret and explain issues:
  • Detect recursive workflow loops
  • Identify overlapping or conflicting conditions
  • Highlight missing validations or null-value propagation
Example Insight:
“Workflow B was triggered repeatedly due to a field update in Workflow A, resulting in a recursive loop.”
3. Impact Simulation (Pre-Deployment)
Before applying changes, developers should be able to:
  • Simulate workflow execution paths
  • Identify dependent workflows and scripts
  • Assess potential risks or unintended triggers
Expected Impact
  • Significant reduction in debugging time
  • Improved transparency in application behavior
  • Better maintainability of complex Creator applications
  • Enhanced developer confidence when modifying workflows
