Hi Shrirangh, 
 
You can work in debug mode inside your process modeler: File -> Start debugging mode, and you can start whatever node that you want with right click on the and selecting ''start'', and for example, if it is an imput task you can start it and fill the form and then submit it. Then you can start the next node manually. This option is very helpful to see errors and the flow of the process.

Hi Shrirang, 
Spend some time on the process model and get an idea about the functionality of each node by looking at the node name and description. A process model might be connected to many individual objects of the project. In order to get a good understanding of process model, go through the outline of the project, functionality of each object, structure of database etc.., as process model is the intersection of all the objects and the last one to understand. If you already have a good idea about everything else, you can understand by using debug mode as others suggested. 
PS: Try to find someone who knows about the application, if you can. This will give you a better understanding and saves you time. If you can't find anyone it takes time but trust me you will learn a lot. 
Hope this helps. All the best.

Hi Shrirang, 
 The step by step process variable value changes can be seen using the Process Details (In the older versions - Process History Window) from the Monitoring mode. Please refer the below screenshots(Appian 18.2).
