Software Lifecycle Phases

The software source code repository is divided into 3 branches:

  • trunk - current changes;
  • stabilization - preparation of a new release;
  • release - the latest official release.

During the development process, all new software features are added to the trunk branch.

After reaching Feature Complete status, all changes from the trunk branch are moved to the stabilization branch.

From that time on, only software fixes that are critical for this version are added to the stabilization branch. These fixes are also duplicated in the trunk branch.

After the version stabilization is completed, all changes are moved from the stabilization branch to the release branch, and a new development phase begins.
