In Artillery you call it bracketing/straddling.

It's called bracketing in electrical engineering as well for troubleshooting.

Called half splitting in troubleshooting terms when I was in the Navy.

Half split bracketing was the term I learned in aviation electronic school in the Navy.

That's an analogy that might appeal to the LE types.
