A programming tool or software development tool is a computer program that software developers use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications.
Let's start by learning about debugging requirements!
Prerequisites
There are two plugins (extensions) for debugging ObjectScript:
The first is part of the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack. The second is Serenji, a standalone plugin that provides an editor, file manager, and debugging functionality. Both plugins can be installed from the plugin store. To activate key functionality, Serenji requires a license. For this article, we'll use the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack to reduce the learning curve. After you've mastered the basics, you can consider purchasing a paid license for Serenji.
In Part 1, we explored how window functions operate. We learned the logic behind PARTITION BY, ORDER BY, and such functions as ROW_NUMBER() and RANK(). Now, in Part 2, let's delve into more window functions with practical examples.
Developing and testing REST APIs in InterSystems IRIS often requires a significant amount of boilerplate code. While ObjectScript provides powerful tools for building APIs, writing consistent and repeatable tests can be time‑consuming. This is where IrisOASTestGen comes in.
As I'm sure most of you will be aware, we have an excellent resource available to developers in the Open Exchange, which is a place for Community Members to share open source resources, templates, tools and demos built with or for InterSystems technologies. This has been a massive success, with >1100 projects shared!
