Yup, I'll agree with that.. But there can be several levels of 'releases'.. For company stuff I would assume the 'small incremental releases' thing would mean 'upload/update into the central directory of stuff' (cvs, or whereever), so that any other product/dept that might need something fixed, can test/use/integrate it.

QA only (should get) gets it when its actually released for a customer, which they then test together with other actual product releases meant to be delivered to a customer.

At least, thats how the $company I work for does it. Eg the defect/feature/whatever is 'finished' from the developers point of view.

I'd say, you're both right.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
