Understanding Patch Testing

Patch Testing is the process of evaluating and validating software patches, updates, or fixes before implementing them in a production environment. This testing ensures that the patches do not introduce new issues or vulnerabilities, and that they effectively address the security vulnerabilities they were designed to fix. Patch testing helps organizations maintain the security and stability of their systems by minimizing the risk of disruption or compromise associated with applying untested patches.
