#Interviewer: The application is currently in production and one module require

code changes, i.e., Change request. Is testing the module-under-change enough to

ensure quality delivery? Why or Why not?

No. Testing the module-under-change is a must-have whereas the changes might have
an impact on the integration with the other modules. Most of the development teams
follow modular coding wherein same functions are re-used in different modules of
the application. If a change is made to a particular module, it doesn’t guarantee
that the change is isolated to that module.

That’s where ‘Regression Testing’ comes to rescue. After a thorough impact analysis
of the changes, Test team needs to verify all the impacted areas – be it within
same module OR outside it (ensuring that there are no side effects of the code
changes).

Tip: Test team’s understanding and Inputs from the development team are a must to
identify all the impacted areas!
