How to start a PM in debugging mode?
I went through File->Start PM in Debug Mode->Right clicked on my first highlighted userinput task in debig mode-> clicked open form
Instead of opening a form its gives a screen and a link to open form in a tempo (image of this screen is in attachment) and when I click the tempo link it goes to news and not to the user input form.

You wouldn't be able to see the values of the local!variables in the script task directly (you would only see the output of the expression rule). However, one thing I like to do when I want to see what my local variables are doing is plug the expression into a dummy interface (can either create one or open a temporary interface from rules tab in /suite/designer). From there, I output my expression and whatever local variable into x number of text fields (I prefer seeing the data in the instructions parameter). This allows me to easily visualize what the data looks like from each local variable and what relationships they share. You can then feed test date into the local variable to see what you should expect in process.
If you're trying to evaluate multiple different test cases, I would recommend creating these in the expression rule directly (
forum.appian.com/.../Expression_Rules.html
. Running test cases have been around for a little while, but 16.1 build has some really cool features added to help designers with testing.

Okay great. Thanks everyone for the help. Yes quick task was the reason! And is it possible to see what are the values of all local! variables in a rule expression that I am using in a script task? when I run a Process Model in debug mode.

The User Input task appears to be a quick task (Tilda icon in the bottom right of the activity). Quick tasks would appear as a related action on a process backed record. If you open the UIT and uncheck the "qucick task" checkbox on the general tab, this should show up in your task queue.

Open the process model (not the instance) in the process modeler, double click the user input task and click on the Forms tab. That should give you the information on whether or not the form is SAIL or forms designer.
Can you also check the Assignment tab and let us know who this process is assigned to? As someone mentioned earlier, you can navigate to the process instance and reassign the task to yourself. You would then be able to see this task in your own task list in Tempo

This form was created by Appian Professional Services. Is there a way for me to find out which type it is?

As that user input task refers to an Action and not a task, I went to the Actions tab (I cross checked If I have anything thr, but there was no new task assigned to me). The task is already assigned to me. Even when I initiated that particular Action through Actions TAB, the process model did not show any response based on my inputs
