During release review, the development, test, and program management teams meet to discuss whether to release the implementation. If this review is successful, the product is released to production. Otherwise, the outstanding issues are reviewed and fixed.
In addition to reports that summarize and evaluate the test results, it is recommended that the release review include the following:
Best practices for executing the test cases
Root-cause analysis for the defects found in the testing process
Identification and discussion of any areas in the migrated application that need further improvement or retesting
For more information about the release process, see Reporting and Release Processes later in this chapter.
