What does the regression acceptance checker produce?
Check a candidate test run against customer-entered pass-rate regression and critical-failure gates, with every calculation visible.
The working area above saves numeric inputs in this browser and exposes every formula. It does not decide fairness, safety, compliance or release approval.
What do you need before you start?
- Freeze the complete population, process, period and approved outcome criteria before entering aggregate counts.
- Use ordinary nonnegative decimal notation. Counts must be whole numbers through one billion. Review thresholds support increments of 0.1 percentage points.
- Confirm comparable populations and source labels. The tool does not collect individual records or test an AI model.
What information do you enter?
The browser calculator accepts only the aggregate numeric inputs listed below.
- Baseline tests (required). Enter the total tests in the approved baseline run.
- Baseline tests passed (required). Enter baseline tests that passed the stated criteria.
- Candidate tests (required). Enter the total tests in the candidate run.
- Candidate tests passed (required). Enter candidate tests that passed the same criteria.
- Candidate critical failures (required). Enter candidate failures the organization classifies as critical.
- Maximum allowed regression in percentage points (required). Enter the organization’s approved pass-rate regression gate.

How does the regression acceptance checker work?
- 1Freeze the evidence basis
Retain the source population, evaluation version, success criterion and review thresholds in your own controlled records.
- 2Enter the bounded counts
Use the numeric fields above or a clearly fictional example. Correct counts that exceed their population or imply an impossible confusion matrix.
- 3Calculate and inspect
Review every descriptive rate and entered gate. Gates use exact count and decimal expressions. Displayed percentages round to two decimal places.
- 4Keep a restorable backup
Download the free backup before clearing or replacing work. Earlier JSON result downloads can restore inputs. Restoring recalculates results and preserves previous browser inputs.
- 5Prepare the finalized calculation
Download all seven finalized files free. Browser preparation does not transfer inputs to a provider.

Common questions
What information does the regression acceptance checker need?
Enter baseline tests (required). Enter the total tests in the approved baseline run; baseline tests passed (required). Enter baseline tests that passed the stated criteria; candidate tests (required). Enter the total tests in the candidate run; candidate tests passed (required). Enter candidate tests that passed the same criteria; candidate critical failures (required). Enter candidate failures the organization classifies as critical. Freeze the complete population, process, period and approved outcome criteria before entering aggregate counts.
What does the regression acceptance checker produce?
Baseline and candidate pass rates. Percentage-point regression. Pass or review result for the entered rate and critical-failure gates. Free restorable browser backup and complete JSON calculation record. Seven-file finalized export. Formal PDF, editable DOCX, Excel, results CSV, complete input and result JSON, file hashes and instructions. Review unresolved findings and limitations before use.
Who makes the final decision?
A responsible person reviews the result. The organization defines test coverage, failure severity and release authority. Meeting entered gates does not prove safety or compliance.
Is this tool free?
Yes. The on-screen result and listed downloads are free. No checkout is required. Keep local backups and review the stated method and limits.
Can I use the regression acceptance checker for this task?
Apply release thresholds and flag failures. The organization defines test coverage, failure severity and release authority. Meeting entered gates does not prove safety or compliance.
What still needs review?
The organization defines test coverage, failure severity and release authority. Meeting entered gates does not prove safety or compliance.
Aggregate counts do not establish complete evidence, comparable samples or valid labels. No individual-record audit, model test or release approval is performed.
Rates and entered gates describe the supplied counts. They do not establish statistical significance or a legal conclusion.
