Hi. I’d like to get some input as to what would be the adequate testing needed to be done upon applying the Microsoft’s patches to windown-based computers?

How much testing would be recommended in terms of testing to ensure that the patch has not negatively impacted the software applications on these computer?

Thanks for your input.
