Best-in-class Series: Testing your Decisions
Watch the recording
As part of the decision lifecycle, business analysts obviously start by authoring their decision logic. As they progress, testing rapidly comes to the forefront. How do you ensure that your decision logic is correct?
Decision logic is not software code. As a result, you can’t be satisfied with testing tools and techniques that software developers use. Testing decision requires a different approach, different techniques, and different tools. Granted, ensuring that your decision service can compile is useful. But, the end goal is really to ensure that your decision logic complies with your business objectives. Read More »
Implementing Rating Engines with Business Rules and Lookup Models
Rating engines, just like scoring engines, pricing engines, compensation calculations, claims payment calculations, and many other types of calculation engines, aim to calculate fees or costs. Besides this commonality, they also share some complexity on the fine prints.
For example, insurance underwriters and lenders alike manage pricing sheets, often in the form of a spreadsheet. More often than not, these spreadsheets can contain thousands or tens of thousands of rows. While runtime performance may be a concern, maintainability is certainly a priority. Furthermore, the pace of change requires additional tracking and management to roll these rates over disparate geographies.
Over the years, the implementation of a rating engine has relied on different technologies. As of today, the debate still continues: can you use business rules for a rating engine? The definitive answer is yes. Read More »
