Work Item Triage

Our first step in the development cycle process is to conduct a "triage" to review all of the Work Items requested by customers. They are ranked by importance based on the severity of the problem, associated business cases, and the number of customers affected. We also weigh the risk to code stability and architectural limitations. Because of the schedule-driven nature of these releases, not all Work Items can be addressed immediately.

Code Freeze

Code Freeze is the developers' deadline for submitting fixes into the Maintenance Release (MR). Declaring code freeze is necessary to give the Quality Engineering team the needed time to conduct feature testing, server reliability testing, and regression testing. Testing is ongoing throughout the product cycle.

Release Candidate 1

At this point in the process all Work Items have been verified and regression testing continues. Using Release Candidate 1 we focus our testing on reliability in a production environment.

Close

Release Candidate 2

Our Release Candidate 2 build is the code that we feel is ready for the final testing before we consider this release completed. At this point in the process all Work Items have been verified, final regression testing has been completed, and reliability has been proven.

Close

Release Candidate 3

At this point in the process, final testing has been completed. The Release Notes and other documentation associated with the release is verified.

Web Posting

If applicable, the updated SDK is posted on our website and the production ISB is updated. Product quality is our number one goal so if we find that the product does not pass Quality Engineering testing, we may choose to hold the release of the product until our testing shows that the product meets our quality goals.
