Description

  • Currently we have a window of -5y to -1m that we search for events when integration testing
  • We should consider expanding that window, or perhaps just setting these values to None
  • If we don't, at some point in the future old attack data will start to fall out of this window and appear to fail

Research direction

No file or test is named. Locate the integration-testing configuration that defines the -5y to -1m event window, then inspect how earliest and latest are passed to event searches. Compare the proposed defaults against historical attack-data coverage and update or add integration-test coverage for the chosen behavior.
