+### Issues
+
+First, let's make sure Sentry is correctly capturing errors and creating issues in your project. Add the following code snippet to your main application file; it defines a route that will deliberately trigger an error when called:
+
 ```javascript
 app.get("/debug-sentry", function mainHandler(req, res) {
   throw new Error("My first Sentry error!");
 });
 ```
+

+
+### Tracing
+
+To test your tracing configuration, update the previous code snippet by starting a trace to measure the time it takes for the execution of your code:
+
+```javascript
+app.get("/debug-sentry", async (request, reply) => {
+  await Sentry.startSpan(
+    {
+      op: "test",
+      name: "My First Test Transaction",
+    },
+    async () => {
+      await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 100)); // Wait for 100ms
+      throw new Error("My first Sentry error!");
+    }
+  );
+});
+```
+
