+<h2>Tracing</h2>
+<p>Tracing is a way to record debugging information that can be used during 
+software development. With tracing, you can generate detailed, low-level 
+information about an application's execution in the target device.</p>
+<p>Examples of tracing are cases when messages are sent or received from a 
+component, when states change, when a certain function is entered or
+exited, or anywhere else in the code where it is interesting to know if code
+has been executed or not.</p>
+<p>System level performance analysis and problem-solving are often based on 
+tracing. In your development team, a standard way to instrument traces to 
+your code (for example, using the same trace group for fatal error
+tracing) can help in determining which level of traces should be activated. 
+</p>
+<p><b>Note:</b> there is a distinction between <i>tracing</i> and <i>
+logging</i> as general terms. Tracing is primarily for debugging and diagnostic
+purposes, whereas logging writes records of program usage and is often a functional
+requirement of a program.</p>
