+## Finding the source of the query
+
+It may be useful to identify the source of the queries by looking at the call backtrace.
+To enable this, run the specs with the `QUERY_RECORDER_DEBUG` environment variable set. For example:
+
+```
+QUERY_RECORDER_DEBUG=1 bundle exec rspec spec/requests/api/projects_spec.rb
+```
+
+This will log calls to QueryRecorder into the `test.log`. For example:
+
+```
+QueryRecorder SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "issues" WHERE "issues"."deleted_at" IS NULL AND "issues"."project_id" = $1 AND ("issues"."state" IN ('opened')) AND "issues"."confidential" = $2
