Change impact
Understand the reach of a change
Explore dependencies, callers and related tests before changing a shared interface or implementation.
The problem
A small edit in a shared module can affect many features. File search alone may leave you with a list of matches rather than a clear view of how those matches relate.
A validation change can affect its checkout consumer and the tests associated with that consumer. Reachability identifies candidates for review; it does not prove a defect.
What Graphtia provides
Explorer is designed to support dependency and dependent inspection, paths and neighborhoods around code. These views help form a reviewable picture of a proposed change.
From a question to a review
Select the symbol or file you plan to change. Review direct dependents, trace relevant paths and inspect nearby tests. Record what the graph does and does not cover, including revision mismatches or truncated results. Confirm your conclusions with source review and testing.
Where it helps
Use this approach before changing a shared interface, replacing a dependency or adjusting behavior used by more than one feature. A small, explained scope is easier to review than an unfiltered list of references.
Relevant capabilities
Inspect direct dependents and their assumptions.
Trace paths across important module boundaries.
Use related tests as evidence and identify gaps that need further checks.
Relevant product
Explorer provides the code-understanding context. It does not guarantee that every runtime effect or dynamically constructed dependency is represented. Join early access to follow availability.
