Release workflow

From change detection to migration delivery.

APIDiff AI turns raw version changes into structured output for engineering, QA, and product teams. Every step is trackable and repeatable.

Every release generates a new report

1. Collect specs, SDKs, and change logs 2. Normalize contracts and detect diffs 3. Map breaking changes and impact 4. Generate migration plan and QA brief 5. Send alerts to release channels

Workflow steps

Each release follows the same repeatable sequence so teams can scale change management.

1. Source collection Pull OpenAPI specs, SDK packages, and changelog feeds.
2. Spec normalization Align schemas, endpoints, and SDK method naming.
3. Semantic diffing Detect changes by behavior, not just text.
4. Impact scoring Rank severity and highlight high dependency areas.
5. Migration guidance Publish ordered steps with owner and ETA metadata.
6. Regression summary Generate QA focus list and coverage suggestions.
