This is the most detailed form of testing as it provides granular day-by-day insights into long-term trends and behaviors.
Example: If your testing date range period is from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025, this testing campaign will run (1st Jan 2025 - 31st Dec 2025, 2nd Jan 2025 - 31st Dec 2025, 3rd Jan 2025 - 31st Dec 2025, etc).
This test runs a daily snapshot with a fixed-length window, providing month-specific daily insights.
Example: If your testing date range period is from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025, this testing campaign will run (1st Jan 2025 - 31st Jan 2025, 2nd Jan 2025 - 31st Jan 2025, etc), (1st Feb 2025 - 28th Feb 2025, 2nd Feb 2025 - 28th Feb 2025, etc), followed by other months till the test is completed.
This test allows for analysis of how performance accumulates or changes when measured from a consistent monthly starting point.
Example: If your testing date range period is from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025, this testing campaign will run (1st Jan 2025 - 31st Dec 2025, 1st Feb 2025 - 31st Dec 2025, 1st March 2025 - 31st Dec 2025, etc).
This test is ideal for comparing self-contained monthly performance without overlapping periods.
Example: If your testing date range period is from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025, this testing campaign will run (1st Jan 2025 - 31st Jan 2025, 1st Feb 2025 - 28th Feb 2025, 1st March 2025 - 31st March 2025, etc).
