Digital Insurance Marketplace Strengthens API Quality, Reduces Incidents by 62% in 3 Months

About the Client

The client is a fast-growing digital insurance marketplace connecting carriers, agents, and end consumers through a complex, multi-party quoting and policy binding ecosystem. With increasing partner integrations and high transaction volumes, maintaining API reliability and performance became critical. To ensure scalable quality assurance and seamless integrations, the client partnered with Zymr.

Key Outcomes

62% Reduction in API-Related Production Incidents Within 3 Months
End-to-End Automated API Test Coverage Across Marketplace Ecosystem

Business Challenges

The marketplace operated on a highly interconnected API layer supporting multiple carriers, each with unique data formats, workflows, and compliance requirements. This complexity led to inconsistencies in API behavior and increased risk of production failures.

Manual testing processes were insufficient to validate the growing number of endpoints, resulting in delayed releases and limited test coverage. Frequent changes in carrier integrations made regression testing time-consuming and error-prone.

Performance bottlenecks during peak quoting periods affected user experience, while lack of standardized contract validation created integration challenges for new partners. Security vulnerabilities in APIs also posed compliance and risk management concerns.

The client required a scalable, automated API testing strategy to ensure functional accuracy, performance reliability, and security compliance across the entire marketplace.
