Hello, with the introduction of the Playwright UI as of version 1.32, this might feel deprecated

[@CommitQuality]

Thanks for the comment. This is a bit of a misconception, although the introduction of the UI tool is a huge game changer this doesn't discount the need to understand the traceviewer tool. The UI tool will not replace traceviewer. A prime example will be executing tests in a pipeline. You can not use the UI tool to view tests executed in a CI/CD pipeline, therefore you would want to be able to understand how to view the traces that are generated, especially when you start to see failing tests in the pipeline
