What is a release?
It is a specific version of software that has been completed, tested, and made available for use.
Definition
A release, or launch, refers to a specific version of software that has been completed, tested, and made available for use by end-users.
Objectives
The main goal is to ensure that the software is delivered in a controlled and predictable manner, meeting quality and service level requirements.
Importance
Releases are significant milestones in software development, often including new features, performance enhancements, and bug fixes.
Version Vs. Release
While a release is a version of software, not all software versions are considered releases; a release is a version that is made public for use.
