Preview process behavior in Maestro before production by simulating control flow, inspecting variable changes, and identifying design flaws without executing against live systems.

Simulation in Maestro lets you preview how a process will behave—without executing it in production. You can validate control flow, inspect variable changes, and identify design flaws early, before connecting to robots or external agents.

You can simulate both:

This makes it easier to understand the end-to-end behavior of your process during design.

Use simulation to:

Simulation is especially useful during iterative design or when working with large, modular processes.

Simulation does not run the actual tasks (such as robot jobs, API calls, or agent actions). Instead, it:

You can inspect the simulation trace and data values at each step to confirm expected behavior.

To simulate your process in Studio Web:

The simulation starts from the selected Start event and the process is visualized on the canvas, with each executed path highlighted. The execution trail shows the status of each step and any detected incidents.

The process will simulate visually—each path will be highlighted based on logic execution. The execution trail shows the status and the corresponding step, as well as the detected incidents.

During the run you can:
