Interval Compare

The Interval Compare test type can validate all the data for an interval by comparing all the data at a summary display level, i.e. Plan Summary, Program Summary, Statement Summary etc, between a baseline and a current set of data.

Test Parameters

The table below lists the required and optional parameters that are valid for this test. Follow the link by clicking on the parameter name in the JSON column. If the parameter has a command line override option it will be listed in the Command Line Override column. Additionally there are examples at the bottom of this page.
