Importance of Above the Line (ATL) and Below the Line (BTL) Testing in Tuning and Optimization

Above the line (ATL) and below the line (BTL) testing are essential in tuning and optimization processes. ATL testing focuses on productivity metrics and detecting anomalies by examining output results. For instance, identifying scenarios with a low alerts-to-SARs ratio indicates threshold adjustments. Conversely, BTL testing emphasizes data quality and setting baseline thresholds. It involves exploring transaction values through percentile analysis to determine rule adjustments for optimal system performance.
