Reports and impact

Reports help you answer questions like "what changed?", "which cases would be affected?", and "is this change safe to move forward?" — without reading every line of content.

Questions it answers

  • What changed between two versions (or workspaces) of the project?
  • Which test cases would the current change affect?
  • Which problems (warnings, diagnostics) appear most often?
  • Did the current change improve or hurt the project's score?

What the screen shows

  • Snapshot comparison — side-by-side view of what changed.
  • Case impact — which test cases would feel the change.
  • Recurring diagnostics — problems repeating across the project.
  • Workspace impact calculation — aggregated view before publishing.

Before you start

  • An active project.
  • Enough workspaces or versions to compare.
  • Permission to view the project.

Using it day-to-day

  • Before opening a large review, use the impact report to anticipate reviewer questions.
  • After publishing, compare the new version with the previous one to document changes for the team.
  • Use recurring diagnostics to find high-leverage refactors — a problem that appears in dozens of places, fixed once, improves the whole project.

Limitations

  • If the project has few workspaces or versions, comparisons are limited.
  • Impact quality depends on having good test cases recorded.
