In Software testing, several testing practices help in validating how the developed software is functioning as per the customer requirements and user expectations. Two of such testing practices include functional testing and usability testing. These two have major importance and also, teams have to ensure that it is practiced well so that the developed software meets both the business requirements, and customer expectations, with user-friendly behavior.

How easy were they to understand? Did they do the job without any errors?”, ‘quality’ becomes the most important factor of it all. A developer may build the functionality but a tester determines the quality of the software and how well they were built.

TiDB is an open-source, distributed SQL database that supports Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) workloads. Ideally, a TiDB cluster should always be efficient and problem-free. It should be stable, load-balanced, and have a reliable rate of queries per second (QPS). There shouldn't be any jitters (either in the cluster or on disk), and no hotspots, slow queries, or network fluctuations.
