Abstract

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for facilitating a feedback process regarding the impact that changes to source code will have on tests. Changes contained in at least one source code file are analyzed in combination with code coverage information contained in a data store for a plurality of tests to determine when any of the tests will be impacted by the changes. When at least one test is determined to be impacted by the changes made to the source code file, a warning notification is displayed to a user to notify the user of a possible impact of the changes on the at least one test.
