QueryRecorder is a tool for detecting the [N+1 queries problem](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html#eager-loading-associations) from tests.

As a rule, merge requests [should not increase query counts](merge_request_performance_guidelines.md#query-counts). If you find yourself adding something like `.includes(:author, :assignee)` to avoid having `N+1` queries, consider using QueryRecorder to enforce this with a test. Without this, a new feature which causes an additional model to be accessed will silently reintroduce the problem.
