Staying connected would allow clients to continually send and receive data. Imagine you have an employee whose certificate and key were stolen by an adversary. If you are using TLS client authentication, that adversary can connect to your infrastructure and maintain illegal access.

Data quality testing is a subset of data observability. It is the process of evaluating data to ensure it meets the necessary standards of accuracy, consistency, completeness, and reliability before it is used in business operations or analytics. This involves validating data against predefined rules and criteria, such as checking for duplicates, verifying data formats, ensuring data integrity across systems, and confirming that all required fields are populated.
