Comparison options:
Absolute Change
The Absolute Change comparison works by comparing the change in a numeric field's value to a pre-set limit (Min or Max). If the field's value changes by more than this specified limit since the last relevant scan, an anomaly is identified.
- This feature plays a critical role in maintaining data integrity and ensuring no significant changes go unnoticed.
Asserts that the field has not changed by more than a fixed amount (inclusive) since the last applicable scan
Example
balance has min 0 and max 200
The absolute change of [field_name] from '[min value]' to [max value] falls outside the declared limits
Absolute Value
The Absolute Value comparison works by comparing the change in a numeric field's value to a pre-set limit between Min and Max values. If the field's value changes by more than this specified range since the last relevant scan, an anomaly is identified.
- This feature plays a critical role in maintaining data integrity and ensuring no significant changes go unnoticed
Records the value of the selected field during each scan operation and asserts that the value is within a specified range (inclusive)
Example
price is between 200 and 865
The value for {0.field_names} of {1} is not between '[min value]' and [max value]
Percentage Change
The Percentage Change comparison operates by tracking changes in a numeric field's value relative to its previous value. If the change exceeds the predefined percentage (%) limit since the last relevant scan, an anomaly is generated.
- This tool is crucial for maintaining data consistency, especially when dealing with large datasets where percentage changes might be more informative than absolute ones.
Asserts that the field has not changed by more than a percentage amount (inclusive) since the last applicable scan
Example
balance has min 0 and max 200
The absolute change of [field_name] from '[min value]' to [max value] falls outside the declared limits
