We make changes to our software for many reasons; however, we make scheduled (major) releases in order to deliver significant changes to our downstream clients. Major releases may include interface-breaking changes. They are different from unscheduled (minor) releases in that they contain larger and more thoroughly planned changes.

Process Overview

  1. OBJECTIVES: Choose a target month. Solicit goals and priorities for the release. Propose ends and means.
  2. DEVELOPMENT: Generate changes which may help to meet the new goals.
  3. INTEGRATION: Generate and execute a release contract for each desired change.
  4. RELEASE: Execute the Software ECO process to deliver the release.
