Our application keeps breaking after developers change things

Overview

Summary

Our application keeps breaking after developers change things: Understand the risks, technical decisions, and practical next steps.

New features or updates cause existing user journeys to fail unexpectedly.

Verify repository access, hosting ownership, scope, testing, and who is responsible for production. Evaluate work through a small auditable milestone rather than an abstract promise.

Warning Signs

  • New features or updates cause existing user journeys to fail unexpectedly.
  • Identify common dependencies, recent changes, production logs, and the critical workflows without automated coverage.
  • Patching visible symptoms without checking shared data and behavior contracts.
  • The team cannot demonstrate that the required our application keeps breaking after developers change things workflow is correct, reliable, and maintainable.

Recommended Actions

  • Evaluate work through a small auditable milestone rather than an abstract promise.
  • Require documented acceptance criteria and a practical handoff plan.
  • Identify common dependencies, recent changes, production logs, and the critical workflows without automated coverage.
  • Stabilize the release, create regression tests around failures, and implement changes in smaller reviewable units.
  • A safer change process and explicit checks for previously working features.
