Software Release Methodology: A Case Study

Abstract

Software release management is an important key technology for distributing the project/product to the customer. The key success factor of any software product lies in how delicately the product is released to the customer. The traditional SCM system does not guarantee to handle release management issues of a complex system. Complex systems involve complex database, N-tiers just to name a few. Each kind of application involves special technical consideration from a release perspective. In this paper, we analyze different quality parameters related to the release of a product. This parameters should be handled through software release model. The chosen model that supports those parameters is discussed. A controlled environment is tested for those parameters through the use of this model.
