Dev x AI: Mapping the Blast Radius — AI-Driven Impact Analysis for Safer Code Releases

​Type: Hands-on (Bring your laptop, Claude Code pre-installed)

Every time a developer makes a change, there’s an invisible ripple through the codebase. A single update to a shared library or a small tweak in a backend module can quietly break dependencies you didn’t even know existed. This session is about turning that uncertainty into clarity.

​We’ll explore how to use AI to automatically identify the “blast radius” of any code change — mapping which services, APIs, or data flows might be affected — and then auto-generate focused test cases to catch regressions before they ship.

​You’ll learn how to:

• ​Use Claude Code to analyze dependencies and impact zones in real projects

• ​Generate cross-service test cases intelligently, beyond your own module

• ​Build structured workflows to reduce debugging time by 50%+

• ​Move from reactive firefighting to proactive release confidence

​Who it’s for: Developers who want to code faster without breaking things — and teams tired of post-release surprises.

Outcome: You’ll walk away with an AI-native workflow to make every release safer, faster, and smarter.
