Summary

63656-3

Improve software quality, lower costs, and get to market faster!

Don't risk your software product's success through haphazard integration and release management! Software Release Methodology shows you "best practices" for every stage of a successful product release: source code control, product build, testing and defect tracking, code integration, software change management, and release engineering. No matter how large (or small) your project or software development organization, you'll find carefully designed, practical solutions that enhance quality, reduce costs, and get you to market faster. Coverage includes:

• Why product builds are so difficult, and how to solve the problem.
• Simple defect tracking techniques that make sure problems actually get fixed.
• Managing releases on hard media, soft media, and "net" media.
• Preventing problems on media masters.
• Release numbering and naming: setting customer expectations and avoiding confusion.
• Change control for managing your software development process from start to finish.
• Organizational solutions that work in establishing release management and services.

Bays presents expert techniques that have never been published before-and shows how to design a coherent integration and release process that's dramatically more effective than what you're doing now. If you're responsible for a successful software release, Software Methodology may be the most important book you'll buy this year.
