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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hopeless., 9 Feb 2004
If you have spent time at the sharp end of the software development industry, don't bother with this book. It describes to mind-numbing length the reason why software is a different sort of product than a toaster or automobile. It informs the reader of the difference between Files and Folders in a lengthy and turgid chapter. Most amusing of all was the diagram showing the software distribution process - apparently, the developer copies their application onto floppy disk and sends it to the customer. The customer then puts the floppy disk in their computer and installs the application. Good grief. I'd say this book is probably targetted at managers who find themselves running a software development department, but haven't the first idea how to develop or release or support software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great overview of these collective fields, 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
As the author has observed these fields binding together so have I. I have searched on numerous occasions for texts that provide a unified perspective on these fields. Now I finally have it. The book does a great job of stepping through the mine-fields of SCM, defect tracking, and project management which have collectively been nothing but a disaster in my experience in about 6 software companies. While the book does not go into a low level of detail on the SCM models, as I would like I believe that it does a good overall job of the fields. Hope we can see more from this author in the future.
