Rules testing framework

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a decisioning module being executed by a computer comprising one or more hardware processors in a live production environment, a request for an output decision corresponding to a set of input parameters, the request including a tracking identifier associated with a test scenario;
• determining a set of downstream modules, the output decision of the decisioning module being dependent on respective outputs of each of the set of downstream modules, wherein the set of downstream modules, when operating in a default configuration, is configured to request information from one or more dependent modules;
• based on information included in the request for the output decision, causing each of the set of downstream modules to switch from the default configuration to a simulation configuration, wherein responsive to being switched to the simulation configuration, each of the set of downstream modules transmits respective information requests to a simulation module, the simulation module configured to transmit fixed output values corresponding to the set of downstream modules in response to the respective information requests;
• generating the output decision according to a decisioning rule that is triggered based on the fixed output values;
• and
• transmitting the output decision to a testing module.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that in response to execution by one or more hardware processors, causes a computer to perform operations in a live production environment, the operations comprising:

• receiving a request for an output decision corresponding to a set of input parameters, the request including a test indication;
• determining that the output decision is dependent on an output of a first module, the first module configured by default to communicate with a second module, and the output of the first module being dependent on the output of the second module;
• based on the test indication, causing the first module to transmit an information request to a simulation module, the simulation module identifying a predetermined output value corresponding to the first module in response to the information request;
• generating the output decision according to a decisioning rule that is triggered based on the predetermined output value;
• and
• transmitting the output decision to a testing module.
