Padron ng paggamit: tracing [letters/a picture/an outline]

copying (more general; does not necessarily mean drawing over the original) | outlining (focuses on drawing the outer shape) | transferring (often used when moving a design from one surface to another)
Mga kasalungat
freehand drawing (drawing without following an existing image or guide) | erasing (removing lines rather than copying them)

copy made by tracing

a copy of a picture or shape made by tracing it

Padron ng paggamit: a tracing of [something]; make a tracing

A tracing is the finished copy; tracing can also mean the action of making that copy.
Mga kasingkahulugan
copy (more general; can be made in many ways) | outline (emphasizes the outer shape rather than the whole copied image) | reproduction (more formal; may refer to a higher-quality copy)
Mga kasalungat
original (the source image or object, not the copied version)

recording activity for analysis

recording what a system or program does so people can find problems

Padron ng paggamit: enable tracing; tracing of [requests/events/execution]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
In computing, tracing overlaps with logging, but tracing often follows detailed flow through a system rather than just recording separate messages.
Mga kasingkahulugan
logging (often less focused on following a path through a system) | monitoring (broader; may watch performance without recording detailed flows) | instrumentation (more technical; refers to adding measurement points to code or systems)
Mga kasalungat
unmonitored operation (running without recording or observing detailed activity)
Mga kolokasyon
enable tracing |disable tracing |execution tracing |request tracing |distributed tracing |network tracing |system tracing |API tracing |tracing data |tracing tool
Mga tema
technology |software |engineering |diagnostics
Mga Halimbawa
  • Enable tracing before you run the test, so we can see where the request fails.

Mga kasingkahulugan
