Panaya provides tools to help visualize and manage these dependencies. --- ## How to Check Script-to-Component Dependencies Panaya offers a “Used In” tab in the component details view: - Navigate to a component. - Open the “Used In” tab to see a list of scripts referencing this component. - This view includes script names, project associations, and usage context. Alternatively, - Open the script in ScriptBuilder to review it - Open the test and review the “used components” list in the tab. --- ## Best Practices for Managing Dependencies - Audit component usage regularly. Use the “Used In” tab to identify high-impact components and prioritize their stability. - Avoid overloading components. Where possible, use small and focused components that serve a clear and specific purpose. - Track changes with comments. When updating a component, document the reason and expected impact. - Communicate changes. Notify stakeholders when shared components are updated, especially if they affect critical test flows. --- ## Recommendations for Dependency Management - Establish ownership of shared components to ensure accountability. - Use naming conventions to indicate component purpose and scope. - Document any dependency in the asset’s general tab > Description field.
