One small change to a rating formula can unintentionally impact thousands of commercial insurance premiums. Bureau updates, carrier pricing changes, underwriting rules, new coverages, and product enhancements all introduce risk into the rating process. SelectRate Regression Testing automatically compares production and draft products to identify every premium difference before deployment. Instead of discovering pricing errors after release, organizations validate every product change before it reaches production.
What Is Regression Testing?
Regression Testing verifies that product changes only affect the premiums that were intentionally modified.
The platform automatically compares:
- Production Products
- Draft Products
- Rating Formulas
- Bureau Updates
- Carrier Pricing
- Underwriting Rules
- Premium Calculations
- API Responses
Unexpected changes are immediately identified for review.
Why Regression Testing Matters
Commercial insurance products evolve continuously.
Changes may include:
- ISO Updates
- NCCI Updates
- Carrier Multipliers
- Formula Changes
- Product Configuration
- Territory Updates
- Underwriting Rules
- Coverage Enhancements
Without regression testing, unintended pricing changes can easily reach production.

Regression Testing supports every commercial insurance product.
Each product can maintain independent regression test suites.
