Define threshold rules for a test measure definition

Set rules or criteria to evaluate the results of test measures. These rules establish thresholds that determine the acceptable performance and quality metrics for a service under evaluation. If test measure results exceed or fall below these thresholds, it indicates a deviation from expected performance levels.

Role required: admin

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Service Test Management > Test Definitions > All.

2. Select the test definition that you want to open.

3. In the Threshold Rules related list, define a threshold rule for a test measure by selecting New.

4. On the form, fill in the fields.

5. Field	Description
   Number	Auto-generated ID for the test measure definition.
   Name	Name of the threshold rule.
   Test measure definition	Name of the test measure definition for which you’re defining threshold rules.
   Conformance comparator exact	Option to determine if the service under testing meets the defined criteria.
   Conformance target exact	Option to determine if the service or system behaves as expected under specified conditions.This field appears only if the Conformance comparator exact option is selected.
   Conformance comparator lower	Lower range of the threshold for comparing the test measure results.
   Conformance comparator upper	Upper range of the threshold for comparing the test measure results.
   Severity	Severity of this rule.
   Tolerance period	Specified time interval during which crossing occurrences are enabled without triggering any immediate consequences or actions.
   Number of allowed crossing	Number of occurrences of a threshold crossing that are allowed within a certain time frame before any consequences are triggered.
   Conformance target lower	Lower boundary that determines if a specific limit is crossed or no longer crossed.Note: This value must be greater than the upper limit defined in the Conformance target upper.
   Conformance target upper	Upper limit that determines if the threshold is crossed or no longer crossed.Note: This value must be less than the lower limit defined in the Conformance target lower.
   Description	Description of the threshold rule.
