 This development scenario presumes that a SharePoint farm and a Workflow Manager 1.0 farm are installed and paired. These two farms can be located on the same or on separate server computers. The scenario further presumes that workflow development is taking place remotely - that is, on a computer separate from either of the server computers - and is using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 or later.

-Microsoft has taken a different approach to workflows in SharePoint than in previous versions of SharePoint. The workflow team worked with the Azure team to create a new product called Workflow Manager. Workflow Manager hosts the latest version of the Windows Workflow Foundation runtime and all the necessary services in an available and scalable way. It takes advantage of the Microsoft Azure Service Bus for performance and scalability, and when deployed, it runs exactly the same in an on-premises deployment as in the cloud, similar to Office 365. SharePoint is then connected and configured to hand off all workflow execution and related tasks to the Workflow Manager farm.

 This change in the architecture required some changes to the two primary workflow authoring tools (SharePoint Designer 2013 and Visual Studio 2012) customers used to create custom workflows. However, the debugging techniques employed by developers in SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010 still apply. The new architecture allows for a new option for workflows created using either SharePoint Designer 2013 or Visual Studio 2012 in that Fiddler can be used to monitor traffic between SharePoint and Workflow Manager.
