Designing, building and configuring a Release
Release Management
Description
Description
Procedures for building software Releases must be planned and documented. Standard procedures should be reused where possible.
If the software was developed in-house or bought on the market, all interfaces have to be documented and the new Software lodged in the DSL (Definitive Software Library). The designing, building and configuring of a Release includes also the initialisation of databases and filling them with test data.
All data gathered during this activities must be registered in the Configuration Management Database.
The results of this activities are:
- detailed Release assembly and build instructions, including the exact sequence of operations,
- sales contracts, licenses, maintenance contracts for purchased components,
- automated installation scripts and associated test plans,
- master copies of the software, stored in the DSL,
- back-out procedures.
