This release introduces Champion-Challenger testing for decisioning workflows, along with major usability improvements to Table Variables and an expanded Marketplace featuring a new Data Integration template.
Release Details
Champion-Challenger Testing for Decision Strategies
DigiFi now supports Champion-Challenger testing within decisioning workflows, allowing teams to test and compare decision strategies using real application data, without disrupting live operations.
This experimentation framework helps validate new logic, measure performance differences, and confidently promote the best-performing strategies.
When launching a new underwriting strategy, you can compare it against your current live strategy. Use A/B Testing to split traffic between strategies, or Shadow Testing to run a new strategy in parallel without affecting live decisions.
A new Champion-Challenger action is available in Automation Builder under the Decisioning action group.
Supported Testing Modes
A/B Testing
A/B Testing allows you to actively compare multiple strategies by splitting incoming traffic across them.
- Randomly distributes applications across selected strategies based on assigned percentages.
- Supports up to 5 strategies in a single test.
- Percentage distribution must total 100%, with an option to distribute equally.
- Executes one strategy per application.
- Produces a single decision result per request.
It is ideal for controlled experiments where outcomes directly impact applications.
Shadow Testing
Shadow Testing enables risk-free validation of new or modified strategies.
- Executes the Champion strategy as the live decision.
- Runs one or more Challenger strategies in parallel (“shadow mode”).
- Challenger results are recorded for analysis but do not update application data.
- Supports up to 5 challenger strategies.
It is ideal for validating logic changes with zero customer impact.
Decision Result Indicators
DigiFi now shows icons next to decision strategies produced through Champion-Challenger testing:
🏆 Champion Result: Decision produced by the Champion strategy.
🥈 Challenger Result: Decision produced by a Challenger strategy in Shadow Testing.
🆎 A/B Testing Result: Decision produced as part of an A/B Testing split.
Results not generated via Champion-Challenger testing do not display an indicator.
Table Variables: Column Resizing, Sorting, and Filtering
Table Variables have been significantly enhanced to make working with large and complex datasets easier and more intuitive.
Column Resizing & Auto-Fit
Columns can now be resized to improve readability of long or complex values. You can:
- Drag column dividers to adjust width
- Double-click to auto-fit content or header.
Sorting
Sorting allows you to organize table data in ascending or descending order to quickly find and compare records. Sorting applies across the entire table, persists during table interactions, and resets on page refresh.
Filtering
Filtering allows you to quickly narrow large datasets to the exact records you need at both the table and column levels. You can:
- Select specific values
- Search within available options
- Quickly apply or clear filters.
Active filters remain visible during table interactions and reset on page refresh.
New Marketplace Integration Template: LexisNexis Bridger Insight XG
LexisNexis provides data analytics and risk intelligence solutions used for compliance, identity verification, and screening workflows.
DigiFi Marketplace now includes a new LexisNexis Bridger Insight XG integration template for identity verification and sanctions and watchlist screening.
The service evaluates individuals and entities against global regulatory and watchlists, helping teams strengthen risk controls and support compliance workflows.
Public API & SDK
Following the Champion-Challenger release, the DigiFi SDK and API have been updated. It’s now possible to run strategies in shadow mode, producing decision results without affecting live applications. The new executionMode parameter in the Run Application Decision API lets you choose between normal and shadow execution.
We recommend updating to the latest version for the best experience and access to new features.
