Rolling Average SQL for Test Results | Dataford Interview Questions

Problem

TÜV SÜD quality teams monitor inspection measurements across testing facilities. Write a PostgreSQL query that calculates a rolling average of each test result over the current date and the previous 29 calendar days.

Requirements

Join test results to the facility and test catalog tables.
Partition the rolling average by facility and test type.
Use a time-based window, not a row-count window, so gaps between test dates are handled correctly.
Return the result value and rolling average for every matched test result, ordered by facility, test type, and test timestamp. Ignore NULL measurements in the average.
