Description: Patch functionality testing is a critical component in the software quality assurance process. Its main objective is to verify that patches applied to a system do not introduce errors or failures in existing functionality. This is especially relevant in environments where stability and service continuity are essential, such as in enterprise applications or operating systems. These tests focus on validating that the modifications made, whether they are bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features, do not negatively impact the functions that are already operational. To carry out these tests, various automated testing techniques are used, allowing a predefined set of tests to be executed efficiently and repetitively. This not only saves time but also increases test coverage, ensuring that multiple scenarios and use cases are reviewed. In a world where software updates are frequent, patch functionality testing has become a standard practice to ensure that systems continue to operate correctly after any modification. The implementation of these tests is essential to maintain user trust and software integrity over time.
