What is a QM10 Release?

We often hear it, a new version of this, a new release of that! but what does it actually means? and how does it work at SOLABS?

A new release is the accumulation of multiple changes made to a software or a solution.  We refer to a release for a solution of multiple software interacting together and a version for specific software.  At the end of the day, both terms introduce changes versus their previous iteration.

At SOLABS we offer a solution to our client, an experience.  Therefore our release can introduce changes to any of the services defined within our offering. 

What is Our High-Level Release Workflow

1. We select candidate changes in all of our 8 categories:

• Known issue
• Cloud offering enhancement
• Packaging and delivery enhancement
• Infrastructure enhancement
• Security and performance enhancement
• QM APPs enhancement
• New feature
• UI Enhancement / User experience

2. We create a master plan which includes all the changes and build a timeline for the release.

3. Work is scheduled according to the plan.

4. Work is broken into passes (development, informal, formal, qualification, release).

4. The work & the plan are reviewed each week by all main actors.
