+### Debugging Your Module - BBOT's Colorful Log Functions
+
+You probably noticed the use of `self.hugesuccess()`. This function is part of BBOT's builtin logging capabilty, and it prints whatever you give it in bright green. These colorful log functions can be useful for debugging.
+
+**BBOT log levels**:
+
+- `critical`: bright red
+- `hugesuccess`: bright green
+- `hugewarning`: bright orange
+- `hugeinfo`: bright blue
+- `error`: red
+- `warning`: orange
+- `info`: blue
+- `verbose`: grey (must use `-v` to see)
+- `debug`: grey (must use `-d` to see)
+

+### Debugging a test
+
+Similar to debugging from within a module, you can debug from within a test using `self.log.critical()`, etc:
+
+```python
+    def check(self, module_test, events):
+        for e in events:
+            # bright red
+            self.log.critical(e.type)
+            # bright green
+            self.log.hugesuccess(e.data)
+            # bright orange
+            self.log.hugewarning(e.tags)
+            # bright blue
+            self.log.hugeinfo(e.parent)
+```
+
