FAQPage Schema
How do I check the blast radius of a code change before committing?

Analyze the blast radius of code changes by mapping dependents and upstream callers to reveal affected modules. This identifies execution flows and risk points, helping you anticipate impacted tests and integrations before refactoring.

How does impact analysis map execution flows for git changes?

Impact analysis maps execution flows by reading repository processes to capture affected paths. It detects current changes and maps them to affected flows, generating a risk report that highlights execution paths impacted by your edits.

Can I identify affected upstream callers before refactoring a function?

Yes, you can identify affected upstream callers before refactoring a function. The analysis maps dependents to reveal the blast radius, helping you anticipate affected modules, tests, and integrations prior to making edits.

What is the best way to assess code change risk for dependent modules?

The best way to assess code change risk is by mapping current changes to affected process flows. This analyzes dependents and execution paths to generate a risk report, revealing the blast radius before you modify code.

Do I need pre-commit hooks to run a code change impact analysis?

Pre-commit hooks are not required to run a code change impact analysis. You can map dependents and execution flows to generate a risk report at any point before editing code to reduce potential risk.

Why does my impact analysis miss affected integration paths?

Impact analysis misses affected integration paths if repository processes are not mapped correctly. Reading execution flows and capturing affected paths ensures current changes are properly mapped to generate an accurate risk report.
