# sui\_devInspectTransactionBlock{deprecated} - Sui

This method runs a transaction in dev-inspect mode for testing and development purposes. Unlike `dryRunTransactionBlock`, this method, it doesn't require gas payment and can simulate transactions from any sender address. It's primarily used for debugging and testing Move function calls.
