I want the test performance of my application. I know have to use Traceview tool, but I don't know how to use it. Can anybody demonstrate how to use the Traceview tool?

What the TraceView documentation doesn't tell you is how to zoom and unzoom in the timeline. Zooming in is relatively intuitive but I cannot find any way of unzooming. The one-pager of documentation isn't all that helpful. If you do want to zoom back out, double-click on the msec: label above the timeline at the top.
