+The `vt` binary encapsulates several utility tools for Vitess, providing a comprehensive suite for testing, summarizing,

 ## Tools Included
-- **`vt test`**: A testing utility using the same test files as the [MySQL Test Framework](https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/tree/8.0/mysql-test). It compares the results of identical queries executed on both MySQL and Vitess (vtgate), helping to ensure compatibility.
-- **`vt keys`**: A utility that analyzes query logs and provides information about queries, tables, joins, and column usage.
-- **`vt transactions`**: A tool that analyzes query logs to identify transaction patterns and outputs a JSON report detailing these patterns.
-- **`vt trace`**: A tool that generates execution traces for queries without comparing against MySQL. It helps analyze query behavior and performance in Vitess environments.

 ### Sharded Testing Strategy
-Vitess operates in a sharded environment, presenting unique challenges, especially during schema changes (DDL). The `vt test` tool handles these by converting DDL statements into VSchema commands.

 ## Transaction Analysis with vt transactions
 The `vt transactions` command is designed to analyze query logs and identify patterns of transactional queries. 
 It processes the logs to find sequences of queries that form transactions and outputs a JSON report summarizing these patterns.
