# Debugging and App Health

The ability to debug is what differentiates a professional from a beginner. But it is difficult without the correct tools.

Appfarm comes with Debug Tools for both Apps and Services. It also comes with a tool inside Appfarm Create for validating your App setup: *App Health*.

### Testing and debugging Apps: Debug Tool and App Health

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.appfarm.io/appcademy/appfarm-professional/security-and-operations/debugging-and-app-health.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
