# Debug Value

Debug Value writes the current contents of a [Value Store](/values/value-store.md) item into the Test Case result. Use it while building or fixing a Flow to see what a step stored.

## When to use it

* Inspect a generated or calculated Value after a data step.
* Compare run results when a downstream check fails unexpectedly.
* Pair with [Debug Element](/test-steps/utility/debug-element.md) when both stored data and Element output matter.

## Configure

### Basics

| Field     | What to set                                                  |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Value** | [Value](/values/value-store.md) item to record in the result |

### Advanced

| Field              | What to set                                          |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Status on fail** | [Failed Status](/test-step-options/failed-status.md) |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Pro tip:** Debug Value adds no user-facing action. Place it immediately after the step you suspect, run the Test Case once, then remove it when the Flow is stable.
{% endhint %}
