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
An alternative is to refer to pre-release versions as "release candidates", so that software packages which are soon to be released as a particular version may carry that version tag followed by "rc-#", indicating the number of the release candidate; when the final version is released, the "rc" tag is removed.
Rolling release, also known as rolling update or continuous delivery, is a concept in software development of frequently delivering updates to applications. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This is in contrast to a standard or point release development model which uses software versions which replace the previous version.

LTS applies the tenets of reliability engineering to the software development process and software release life cycle.Long-term support extends the period of software maintenance; it also alters the type and frequency of software updates to reduce the risk, expense, and disruption of software deployment, while promoting the dependability of the software.
