RE: Function Opinion

["Chevalier, Rick" <Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question about testing with this method.  In our shop, if I have 
multiple procedures in a single source member that compiles into a module and I 
change one of the procedures or add a new procedure I will probably be required 
to test every procedure because the source changed.  How do you handle this?  
Can you get by with testing only the changed/added code?

Because of this testing requirement I lean toward making each procedure it's 
own module.
