The Breit interaction and its generalizations have been used for many decades to produce improved results in the calculation of atomic structure and fundamental processes involving continuum electrons. While the importance of these interactions has been experimentally verified for a number of processes, explicit verification is yet to be provided in the case of electron-impact excitation (EIE). In this work, we provide a brief history of the Breit interaction and its computational development. Specific attention is paid to past and present theoretical predictions of the effect of the Breit interaction on EIE in highly charged ions and recent attempts to measure this effect.
