The software release life cycle is the process of developing, testing, and distributing a software product (e.g., an operating system). It typically consists of several stages, such as pre-alpha, alpha, beta, and release candidate, before the final version, or "gold", is released to the public. An example of a basic software release life cycle
Associated with the software release life cycle, it was said by Boris Debic of Google Inc. [1] [2] that release engineering is to software engineering as manufacturing is to an industrial process: Release engineering is the difference between manufacturing software in small teams or startups and manufacturing software in an industrial way that ...
A systems development life cycle is composed of distinct work phases that are used by systems engineers and systems developers to deliver information systems.Like anything that is manufactured on an assembly line, an SDLC aims to produce high-quality systems that meet or exceed expectations, based on requirements, by delivering systems within scheduled time frames and cost estimates. [3]
For example, the 1985 DOD-STD-2167 [2] mentions (in section 4.1.2): "During software development, more than one iteration of the software development cycle may be in progress at the same time." and "This process may be described as an 'evolutionary acquisition' or 'incremental build' approach."
Release management is the process of managing, planning, scheduling and controlling a software build through different stages and environments; it includes testing and deploying software releases. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
Software process and software quality are closely interrelated; some unexpected facets and effects have been observed in practice. [3] Among these, another software development process has been established in open source. The adoption of these best practices known and established processes within the confines of a company is called inner source.
JSD was first presented by Michael A. Jackson in 1982, in a paper called "A System Development Method". [1] and in 1983 in System Development. [2]Jackson System Development (JSD) is a method of system development that covers the software life cycle either directly or, by providing a framework into which more specialized techniques can fit.
The agile unified process distinguishes between two types of iterations. A development release iteration results in a deployment to the quality-assurance and/or demo area. A production release iteration results in a deployment to the production area. This is a significant refinement to the rational unified process.
