+## Tracing
+Soap allows you to easily trace your interactions with the SOAP endpoint being accessed.
+
+To trace all requests, set the following in the register method of your `ServiceProvider`:
+
+```php
+Soap::trace()
+```
+Now, all `Response` objects returned will have a `Trace` object attached, accessible via `$response->getTrace()`. This has two properties `xmlRequest` and `xmlResponse` - storing the raw XML values for each.
+
+Tracing can also be declared locally:
+```php
+Soap::to('...')->trace()->call('...')
+```
+Now, just this `Response` will have a valid `Trace`.
+
+Tracing is null safe. If `$response->getTrace()` is called when a `Trace` hasn't been set, a new `Trace` is returned. This `Trace`'s properties will all return `null`.
