+
+When you make changes to your code, it's important to update any tests to verify the new behavior and catch any bugs that the new code has introduced. {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} can help you quickly update tests to match your code changes, ensuring your test suite stays in sync with your implementation.
+
+## Example scenario
+
+Imagine you have a Python function, `calculate_discount`, that determines the discount for a given purchase amount. In the original code, you get a 10% discount for amounts over $100. You're making changes to the logic of the function, so that only prices over $150 get a 10% discount, and there's now a 20% discount for amounts over $200.
+
+### Original code
+
+In the original code, purchase prices above $100 get a 10% discount.
+
+```python
+def calculate_discount(amount: float) -> float:
+    if amount > 100:
+        return amount * 0.1  # 10% discount
+    return 0.0
+```
+
+### Updated code
+
+In the changed code, only amounts above $150 get 10% discount, and amounts above $200 now get a 20% discount.
+
+```python id=calculate_discount
+def calculate_discount(amount: float) -> float:
+    if amount > 200:
+        return amount * 0.2  
+    elif amount > 150:
+        return amount * 0.1
+    return 0.0
+```
+
+### Existing tests
+
+This example shows the existing tests that were written for the original code.
+
+```python
+import unittest
+from discount import calculate_discount
+
+class TestCalculateDiscount(unittest.TestCase):
+    def test_discount_above_100(self):
+        # $140 should get a $14 discount (10%)
+        self.assertAlmostEqual(calculate_discount(140), 14.0)
+    
+    def test_discount_below_100(self):
+        # $80 should get no discount
+        self.assertEqual(calculate_discount(80), 0.0)
+
+    def test_discount_exactly_100(self):
+        # $100 is not above 100, so no discount
+        self.assertEqual(calculate_discount(100), 0.0)
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    unittest.main()
+```
+
+## Example prompt
+
+You can ask {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} to identify and update any tests affected by your logic change.
+
+```copilot
+Given the update to the `calculate_discount` function, update the unit tests that may fail or become outdated as a result.
+```
+
+## Example response
+
+{% data reusables.copilot.example-prompts.response-is-an-example %}
+
+{% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} analyzes your code and existing tests, and identifies which tests will fail or are now misleading following your code change.
+
+For example, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} explains that:
+* `test_discount_above_100` will now **fail**
+* `test_discount_below_100` and `test_discount_exactly_100` will pass, but they are now **misleading**, since the threshold for the 10% discount is now $150, and not $100.
+
+In addition, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} identifies any **missing test coverage**, such as the new 20% discount tier for amounts over $200.
+
+{% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} proposes an updated set of tests.
+
+### Updated tests
+
+```python
+import unittest
+from discount import calculate_discount
+
+class TestCalculateDiscount(unittest.TestCase):
+    def test_discount_above_200(self):
+        # $250 should get a $50 discount (20%)
+        self.assertAlmostEqual(calculate_discount(250), 50.0)
+
+    def test_discount_above_150(self):
+        # $175 should get a $17.50 discount (10%)
+        self.assertAlmostEqual(calculate_discount(175), 17.5)
+
+    def test_discount_at_or_below_150(self):
+        # $150 is not above 150, so no discount
+        self.assertEqual(calculate_discount(150), 0.0)
+        # $80 should get no discount
+        self.assertEqual(calculate_discount(80), 0.0)
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    unittest.main()
+```
