How do I convert a bitmap to a vector?

Many drawing programs provide handy "tracing" features to approximate bitmaps into vectors, but this may not produce a high-quality result. Ideally, a bitmap would have to be manually re-drawn as vector shapes. Some find the Inkscape tracing tutorial helpful.
