Code Impact Analysis
Understand which files, functions, and services a change will affect — before writing a single line of code.
How It Works
Connect a Repository
Link your GitHub or Azure DevOps repository via Settings → Integrations. Planalyte reads file structure and function signatures — it does not clone or store your source code.
Select Work Items
Choose one or more work items you want to analyze. The AI examines each item's description and acceptance criteria to understand the intended changes.
Run the Analysis
Click "Run Impact Analysis." The AI cross-references your work items against the repository metadata to identify affected files, functions, services, and potential risks.
Review the Report
The impact report shows a ranked list of affected areas with risk scores (Low / Medium / High). Each entry explains why that file or function is impacted.
What the Report Shows
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Affected File | File path that the change is likely to touch |
| Affected Function | Specific function or method within the file |
| Risk Level | Low, Medium, or High — based on coupling and complexity |
| Reason | AI-generated explanation of why this area is impacted |
| Confidence | How certain the AI is about this prediction |
Code Privacy
Planalyte reads repository metadata (file names, directory structure, function signatures) on demand.
Source code is never cloned, stored, or persisted on our servers.
Analysis results are stored in your account and can be deleted at any time.
Only repositories you explicitly authorize are accessible.
