Wesley A.Jun 1, 2026The answer is B, Trace Console. This one tripped me up the first time because the IVR Editor feels like the obvious choice since that is where you build and edit scripts, but editing is not the same as troubleshooting. The Trace Console is what actually lets you step through script execution in real time and see exactly where a call flow breaks down, which variables are holding unexpected values, and which branches are being taken. The Error script option sounds plausible too but that is a destination within a script for handling exceptions, not a diagnostic tool you reach for when something goes wrong. Burn Trace Console into your brain for anything the exam frames around diagnosing or debugging IVR behavior.
Rosario P.Jun 3, 2026Trace Console is the right call, and worth adding that pairing it with a CMS Agent Trace report gives you the full picture when you need to correlate what the script did with how the call landed on a skill.
Anjali D.May 21, 2026Our group landed on B, Trace Console, as the go-to for troubleshooting IVR scripts since it gives you a live look at what the script is actually doing step by step. One thing that kept coming up though, does anyone know if the IVR editor itself surfaces any useful diagnostic info, or is it really just for building and editing the script with no troubleshooting capability at all?
Rosario P.May 23, 2026Trace Console is the right call for live execution visibility, but do not sleep on the IVR editor's syntax and logic validation, which catches bad branching or unresolved variables before you ever get to tracing a broken call flow.
Rosario P.May 16, 2026Trace Console is the right call here, no question. When your IVR script misbehaves, you need to see the actual execution path, what variables held what values, and exactly where the logic branched or failed, and Trace Console gives you that step-by-step visibility in real time. The IVR Editor is where you build and modify the script, not where you diagnose runtime issues, so option A will not tell you anything useful once the script is live and doing something unexpected. System Status is a health dashboard for platform components, and there is no such thing as a standalone "Error script" tool in the AACC/IVR suite, so D is just a distractor. Bottom line, any time a customer call is hitting the wrong treatment or the script is looping or dropping, Trace Console is the first place you open.
Wesley A.May 19, 2026Solid breakdown, though worth adding that you will want to cross-reference Trace Console findings with the IVR Editor afterward to actually make the fix, so both tools end up in your workflow, just at different stages.
