Trace Viewer
Trace Viewer is a graphical user interface tool from the Playwright testing library. It's designed to help developers explore recorded Playwright traces after a script has run. Traces in Playwright provide a comprehensive picture of actions that took place during script execution, such as network requests, JavaScript execution, page rendering, and user interactions. The Trace Viewer tool allows developers to replay these traces in a visual manner, significantly aiding debugging efforts and providing a deeper understanding of test executions.
