Cut Down Pre-Deployment Patch Testing Times
Deploying a patch without testing its impact on your software can be catastrophic, but pre-deployment patch testing can take too much time. That's why administrators use Patch Impact Manager to make patch testing more efficient. Patch Impact Manager runs pre-deployment scans to identify every application impacted by a patch, so you can focus testing only on those affected programs.
