# Ad testing thresholds

Ad testing thresholds define the volume of data needed for a valid test result. You can find account and campaign thresholds under **Ad testing**.

### **Thresholds for single ad group testing**

In a single ad group test, the thresholds apply to **each ad**.

For **daily automated tests**, the defined thresholds are used for all test runs. You can override account thresholds at the campaign level.

For **manual single ad group tests**, you can override the thresholds for every test run.&#x20;

### **Thresholds for multi ad group testing**

In a multi ad group test, the thresholds apply to **each set of ads** (defined by patterns or labels).

For **daily automated tests,** the defined thresholds are used for all test runs. You can override account thresholds at the campaign level.

For **manual multi ad group tests,** you can override the thresholds for every test run.&#x20;

### **How do thresholds affect the test metrics?**

A threshold is used only when it's relevant to the [metric](/tools/ad-testing/faqs/ad-testing-metrics.md) being calculated:

* **Click threshold**: only used when calculating the **CTR** and **conversion rate** metrics.&#x20;
* **Impression threshold**: only used when calculating the **CTR, conversions/impressions** and **conversion value/impression** metrics.&#x20;
* **Conversion threshold**: used when calculating **all metrics, except CTR**.&#x20;
* **Confidence** and **date range thresholds**: used when calculating **all metrics**.&#x20;

### What threshold values should I use?

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.adalysis.com/tools/ad-testing/faqs/ad-testing-thresholds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
