Every CR introduces new risks. QA should evaluate the impact of the change on existing features (regression) before the CR is approved.

Best Practices
Dos and Don'ts
Avoid common mistakes that can lead to flaky tests and maintenance nightmares.
What to do
- •Update your test cases immediately when a CR is approved.
- •Assess the 'Risk Profile' of the change before implementation.
Common Pitfalls
- •Don't accept verbal changes; ensure everything is documented in a CR.
- •Don't forget to deprecate old tests that the CR makes obsolete.
