Debugging client-side scripts in ServiceNow involves utilizing tools and methods that operate within the user's browser environment, as client-side scripts execute there.
A. gs.addErrorMessage(): This function is used in server-side scripts to add error messages to the session and is not applicable for client-side debugging.
B. g_form.addInfoMessage(): This client-side function displays informational messages to the user on the form. While primarily used for user communication, it can aid in debugging by confirming the execution of certain script sections.
C. jslog(): This function logs messages to the JavaScript log, which can be viewed using browser developer tools. It's a valuable tool for debugging client-side scripts by providing runtime information.

D. gs.log(): This function logs messages on the server side and is not available in client-side scripting.
Additionally, developers can use the debugger; statement within their client-side scripts. When the browser's developer tools are open, encountering this statement will pause script execution, allowing for step-by-step inspection.
