# Define test measure definitions for a service test {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated October 23, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Define the values that a test captures, such as the metric, the unit, and how often the value is captured.

## Before you begin

The test definition must be in the Draft state.

Role required: sn_st_mgmt.test_def_creator

## About this task

Test measure definitions are optional. You can publish a test definition that has no test measure definitions.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllService Test ManagementTest DefinitionsAll.
2. Select the draft test definition that you want to open.
3. In the Test Measure Definitions related list, select New.
4. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   For the field descriptions, see [Test Measure Definition form fields](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9ZCXnjAXyOLmjku9CxFRpQ "Review the fields on the Test Measure Definition form in the Service Test Management application.").
5. Select Submit.

## What to do next

Set the limits that the captured value is checked against. Open the test measure definition that you created, and define a threshold rule from its Threshold Rules related list. See [Define threshold rules for a test measure definition](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/plCrB_o8XYed2qYpQ4EDtw "Set the limits for a test measure definition that a captured value is checked against. When a value breaks a limit, the system records a threshold rule violation.").
