Debian 1999–2004

1 In late 2000, the project made major changes to archive and release

management, reorganizing software archive processes with new "package pools" and

creating a testing distribution as an ongoing, relatively stable staging area for

the next release. In the same year, developers began holding an annual

conference called DebConf with talks and workshops for developers and technical

users.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-release-management-toolkit.html

BMC Software 2000s

1 In the May SEC report, it said "The BladeLogic acquisition expands our

offerings for server provisioning, application release management, as well as configuration automation and

compliance."


Data center Requirements for modern data centers

1 Automating: Data center automation involves automating tasks such as

provisioning, configuration, patching, release management and

compliance. As enterprises suffer from few skilled IT workers,

automating tasks make data centers run more efficiently.


Software quality assurance

1 SQA encompasses the entire software development process, which

includes processes such as requirements definition, software

design, coding, source code control, code reviews, change management, configuration management, testing, release management, and product

integration.


Information Technology Infrastructure Library - Release and deployment management

1 Release management utilizes Definitive Media Library for storage of software.



1 The goals of release management include:



1 Release management focuses on the protection of the live environment and its services through the use of

formal procedures and checks.


Information Technology Infrastructure Library - Service support

1 Incidents can initiate a chain of processes: incident management,

problem management, change management, release management

and configuration management.


Information Technology Infrastructure Library - ICT deployment management

1 ICT deployment provides a framework for the successful management of design, build, test and roll-out (deploy) projects

within an overall ICT programme. It includes many project management

disciplines in common with PRINCE2, but has a broader focus to include the necessary integration of release

management and both functional and non functional testing.


Software project management - Software development process

1 Release management is the process of identifying, documenting,

prioritizing and agreeing on releases of software and then controlling the

release schedule and communicating to relevant stakeholders.


Software project management - Software development process

1 A subset of release management that is gaining more and more attention is Data Management, as obviously the users can only test based on data that they know, and "real" data is only in the software environment

called "production".


Continuous integration - Software

1 AutomatedQA Automated Build Studio: proprietary automated build, continuous integration and release

management system



1 Electric Cloud ElectricCommander: proprietary continuous integration and release management product.



1 Thoughtworks Go: proprietary agile build

and release management software.


Multitenancy - Release management

1 Multitenancy simplifies the release management process. In a traditional

release management process, packages containing code and database changes are distributed to client desktop and/or server machines. These packages then have to be installed on each individual machine. With

the multitenant model, the package typically only needs to be installed on a single server. This greatly simplifies the

release management process.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-release-management-toolkit.html

Pulse (ALM)

1 Pulse is built on top of the Eclipse Equinox (OSGi)/p2 platform, and

integrates both proprietary and open source software for software delivery,

release management and collaboration environment.


Release management

v3 Book: Service Transition (which contains a section on release

management) to improve their release management capabilities as

they relate to both business applications and internal IT services


Release management - Release management software

1 For organizations to effectively operate a release management

function they need to ensure they have processes and supporting tools.

Release management software allows release teams to plan,

manage and control the release schedule and track the status of each

release to ensure production worthiness.


Release management - Release management software

1 Release Management software also provides the added benefit of

applying central governance and auditing over releases before

decision-makers approve releases to production.000

management


Definitive Media Library - Background

1 Typically, in a mature organisation, stringent Change and Release

Management processes will exist to prevent this occurring, but such

processes require a place where the authorised software versions can be

safely stored and accessed


Xfwm - Modern Xfce

1 The 4.8 development cycle was the first to use the new release strategy formed after the Xfce Release and Development Model developed at

the Ubuntu (Operating System)|Ubuntu Desktop Summit in May 2009. A new web application was employed to make release management

easier, and a dedicated Transifex server was set up for Xfce translators. The project's server and

mirroring infrastructure was also upgraded, partly to cope with anticipated demand

following the release announcement for 4.8.


Thoughtworks - Proprietary software

1 Despite the name, this is not a derivative of the open source CruiseControl, but instead a new product written from scratch, which was released under a proprietary

license.[http://studios.thoughtworks.com/cruise Cruise - Continuous Integration and Release Management System - From the Creators of CruiseControl] On July 10, 2010,

this position includes release management and production. In

small and mid-sized companies the CPO typically also play the role of the

COO.


Source code repository

1 A 'source code repository' is a file archive and web hosting facility where large

amounts of source code are kept, either publicly or privately. They are often used by

open-source projects and other multi-developer projects to handle various

versions. They help developers submit patches of code in an organized fashion.

Often these web sites support version control, bug tracking, release management, mailing lists, and wiki-based documentation.


Microsoft Installer - Products

1 A product is identified by a unique GUID (the ProductCode property) providing an authoritative identity throughout the world. The GUID, in

combination with the version number (ProductVersion property), allows for

release management of the software's files and registry keys.


Microsoft Installer - Products

1 a package includes the package logic and other meta data that relates to how the package

executes when running. For example, changing an EXE file in the software application may

require the ProductCode and/or ProductVersion to be changed for release management of the

software application. Only adding a launch condition (with the software application

remaining exactly the same as the previous version) would still require the PackageCode to change for release management of the .MSI file

itself.


Corporate title - C-level titles

1 * Chief Product Officer or CPO - responsible for all product-related matters. Usually includes product

conception and development, production in general, innovation,

project and product management. In many IT/telecommunications companies, this position is
