Published Releasing Software article
I must confess: I have an itch to scratch. Over 20 years I’ve been trying to get the software process right. I quietly implemented what I had developed to date, evaluated, adjusted. Wash, rinse, repeat. I think it may be useful to the wider audience to see what it’s all about.
Today I publish the first installment, Releasing Software, what it means, what it involves, and what is not in scope.
“Release” is such an overused word. Even when we limit our scope to software engineering it still means many different things to different people. This situation causes confusion and misunderstanding, and I see it beneficial to define in the most precise terms what we do when we release software.
