WCF provides a set of logging and tracing functions, which use the system. Diagnostics tracing mechanism in. NET Framework. WCF applicationsProgramLogs can be recorded during conversion or at the service layer, or trace relatedCodeOutput logs. The tracing level is configurable. The default configuration is recorded only at the severity level. Traceviewer can open the WCF trace file. Compared with earlier distributed technologies, the logging and tracing functions of WCF are our favorite and even monitor such functions. The error information in distributed systems is very difficult to locate, with this feature, WCF can easily handle errors.

There is an xmlwritertracelistener on codeproject that can manage the WCF trace file size.

In addition, codeplex has a very good WCF test harness test tool.
