Abstract: Context: Software change impact analysis (CIA) concerns managing the consequences of the changes in software artefacts. CIA solutions support software developers in making informed decisions regarding the impact of changes and ensure the overall stability and reliability of software systems. Aim: This paper presents a mapping study on CIA solutions. Our analysis focuses on two main dimensions: 1) the source of the change and 2) the target of the change. Method: We analyse 258 primary studies. Results: We show that in more than one-third of the cases, the Target and Source artefacts mentioned are in the general category. The second most analyzed artefact is Code. In contrast, the least mentioned source artefact is test, while the least mentioned target artefact is requirement. Conclusions: The identified research gaps offer opportunities to expand the knowledge and understanding of CIA techniques, ultimately benefiting practitioners and software development processes as a whole.
