Version and Release Management Overview

Advantages of the version and release concept are:

• A flexible development environment.
• Flexible management of:
  • New versions of the software.
  • Patches on the software.
  • Customizations on the software.
  • Localizations for the software.
• Developers can create and test the customizations on the standard software in a separate development environment.
• Operational users will not see new or customized software components until they are fully tested and released in their own run-time environment.

Version and release management uses these concepts

• The package VRC.
• The package combination.
