Editing WoWBench (section)

== Why? How! ==
<div style="margin-left: 2%;">

WoWBench is a utility ''by'' programmers, ''for'' programmers.

You can:

* Control exactly what [[WoWBench/Getting started#Firing events|game events get fired]] in the system, and at which pace.

* Easily re-play the same sequence of events any number of times - just write a Lua function that simulates a sequence of events!

* Stop execution at any point and jump into the [[WoWBench/Getting started#How to use the built-in debugger|debugger]] to examine exactly what's going on. (And even call Lua code from inside it!)

* Run WoWBench and your AddOn under a Lua debugger, for ''really'' fine-grained debugging!

* Add your own API emulations, or [[WoWBench/Extending#Modifying and extending for local use|modify the existing]] ones, to behave just like you want them to for your development.

* Got an ssh daemon on your machine? Start developing AddOns over SSH from wherever! <small>(No, I'm ''not'' going to say "from work" in that sentence :-) )</small>

* [[WoWBench/Getting started#Logging in multiple players|Log in multiple players]] for developing and debugging inter-addon communication

* Run slash commands, [[WoWBench/Getting started#How to interact with things|click UI elements, units and objects]], call functions, etc.. 

* &rarr; more in [[WoWBench/FAQ]].

* Help the WoW AddOn developer community by submitting your own patches! &rarr; [[WoWBench/Contributing]].

===What WoWBench is not===
* Finished.
: Yep, that's right. There will be plenty of missing APIs. That is why WoWBench is now a community project and not a one-man show. Either help us implement them, or just hack something up that works for your particular mod. It's all up to you!

* An AddOn
: WoWBench ''replaces'' WoW. Your AddOn runs inside it!
