FAQPage Schema
How do I modify an existing feature while checking backward compatibility?▼

Impact analysis for feature modification identifies affected files, database schemas, and API contracts before making changes. It operates within a .specify project structure to track backward compatibility and document the modification process automatically.

Do I need a .specify project structure to perform impact analysis on feature modifications?▼

Yes, a .specify project structure is required to execute impact analysis for feature modifications. The system utilizes bash scripts within this environment to analyze affected files and track backward compatibility during feature development.

How do I update a specific feature using a modification description?▼

You can update a specific feature by specifying its feature number directly or providing an interactive selection based on your modification description. This triggers an automated impact analysis to track all affected files and contracts.

What is the best way to analyze the impact of updating a user authentication feature?▼

The best way to analyze the impact of updating a user authentication feature is using automated impact analysis. It identifies all related code, database schemas, and API contracts affected by the change while ensuring backward compatibility.

Can I identify affected API contracts and database schemas before modifying a feature?▼

Yes, you can identify affected API contracts and database schemas before modifying a feature. The impact analysis mechanism automatically detects these dependencies to help document the modification process and maintain system stability.
