Comparing reliability levels of software releases

Published: 28 May 2018 Publication History

Abstract

An intuitive method is needed to achieve buy-in from all sectors of Engineering for a way to gauge release-over-release change for a given product's sequence of releases. Also, customers need to know if there are extant releases that are more reliable than the ones they already rely on in their networks. A new Release-Over-Release (RoR) metric can both enable customers to clearly understand the reliability risk of migrating to other available releases, and also enable Engineering to understand if their software engineering efforts are actually improving release reliability.
