Code Change

Definitions

1. A modification to source code, configuration, or related files that alters behavior, fixes a bug, or restructures the implementation. Teams often reason about code changes as units for review, testing, deployment, and rollback rather than as isolated edited lines.

   In plain English: A modification made to source code or related files.

   Example: "The outage was traced to a code change that altered timeout defaults and accidentally increased load on a downstream dependency."
