Software release life cycle

Software release life cycle

• stages of making a computer program, giving it out to other people, and making sure the computer program works right after it is released
  • Pre-alpha = first stage of making a computer program, showing roughly what it should have in it
  • Alpha = software that does what you want it to do,
    • but it has lots of problems.
    • only the essentials have been made to work without many problems
  • Beta = software does everything it needs to do, but there are problems
  • RC (release candidate)= stage for becoming stable
    • some bugs will be found during testing
    • also called as "going silver"
  • RTM (release to manufacturing) = publication of a product which is ready for replication
  • GA (general availability) / Production = public version of the software = “Gold release” usually “version 1.0”
