execution against an industry standard that is given by some other association.
2. Precedent: We can run benchmark trial of an application, gather and investigate
results, and afterward alter a few files on a SQL Server database and run a similar test
once more, utilizing the past outcomes to decide if the new outcomes were better,
more terrible, or about the equivalent.
