Test to check if a value is within a certain standard deviation range.

StddevInRangeTest

info

StddevInRangeTest is defined beneath the following ancestor nodes in the YAML structure:

Below are the properties for the StddevInRangeTest. Each property links to the specific details section further down in this page.

Property	Default	Type	Required	Description
severity	error	string ("error", "warn")	No	The severity level for issues raised by the test. Default is 'error'. Use 'error' for critical issues that should interrupt flow processing. Use 'warn' for warnings/minor issues that should not interrupt flow processing.
stddev_in_range		StddevInRangeTestOptions	Yes	Configuration options for the stddev_in_range test.
