When it comes to ensuring that bug fixes do not introduce new problems, our development team takes several steps to maintain the integrity of the codebase:
- Thorough Testing: Before implementing any bug fixes, we conduct comprehensive testing to ensure that the changes do not have unintended consequences.
- Code Reviews: All bug fixes are reviewed by other team members to catch any potential issues before they are merged into the codebase.
- Automated Testing: We use automated testing tools to run tests on the codebase, helping to identify any regressions that may have been introduced by the bug fixes.
- Version Control: We utilize version control systems like Git to track changes and easily roll back if a bug fix causes new problems.
- Documentation: We maintain detailed documentation of all bug fixes, including the steps taken and any potential risks, to ensure transparency and accountability.
