This paper describes an approach used by a small group of people
|
||
|
|
to develop and integrate a large software system.
|
||
|
|
It details the development and release engineering strategy
|
||
|
|
used during the preparation of the \*(b3 version of the UNIX\(dg

|
operating system.
|
||
|
|
Each release cycle is divided into an initial development phase
|
||
|
|
followed by a release engineering phase.
|
||
|
|
The release engineering of the distribution is done in three steps.
|
||
|
|
The first step has an informal control policy for tracking modifications;
|
||
|
|
it results in an alpha distribution.
|
||
|
|
The second step has more rigid change mechanisms in place;
|
||
|
|
it results in a beta release.
|
||
|
|
During the final step changes are tracked very closely;
|
||
|
|
the result is the final distribution.
