From 5644e1e704d6e8ff92b5b40dd94b73b5b1b9b4e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 10:14:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add test case for exclude_detection_period_from_training flag (CORE-19) This test demonstrates the current behavior where anomalous data in the detection period is included in the training baseline due to the cumulative window function in get_anomaly_scores_query.sql. The test validates that a 5x volume spike is detected even with the current implementation. When the exclude_detection_period_from_training flag is implemented, it will make anomaly detection more reliable by excluding the detection period from training calculations. Related to Linear ticket CORE-19.

With sensitivity 10, the anomaly is not detected because it gets absorbed into the cumulative training baseline. When the exclude_detection_period_from_training flag is implemented, the same anomaly should be detected (test fails) because the detection period will be excluded from training calculations.
