WHICH flows to re-run, with WHAT data, and how to keep the pack SMALL ENOUGH THAT SOMEBODY ACTUALLY RUNS IT. The size constraint is the design constraint, and stating it first is what makes this lesson practical. A regression pack covering thirty integrations takes two days, so it is skipped in the update window, so the estate has no regression testing at all. A pack of six flows that takes two hours gets run every quarter, and that is worth more than a thorough pack that is never executed. CHOOSE BY CONSEQUENCE, NOT BY COVERAGE. The flows that move money. The flows a partner depends on contractually. The flows whose failure is silent — per Module 13, those are the ones where a defect runs longest.
