ACT_RU_VARIABLE table and when it's updated...

My team and I are very new to Activit (6) and we're struggling to understand the documentation surrounding the ACT_RU_VARIABLE table. All of our test workflows consist of a series of service tasks using JavaDelegate. We're trying to mimic an existing in-house tool's ability to report on the state of variables AS THE PROCESS RUNS. That seems to be the purpose of the ACT_RU_VARIABLE table (?), but it doesn't seem to matter what we do in our Java test application, and the table is only updated after the entire process (the BPMN flow) is complete. Are we misunderstanding how this is supposed to work. If we debug a Java application, should we be able to see the state of variables reported in a table at each stage of a BPMN process (each box?) or are we not reading or understanding the documentation correctly...? Thanks!
