Release

Release refers to the process of taking a piece of working software outside of the teams that developed it. Number of activities are involved with developers, testers, and deployment teams in releasing a product. After successfully passing through all the phases, the product is delivered to the customer.

Release iCube enables you to create ad hoc reports that can be used to extract information about releases such as number of successful and unsuccessful releases, how quickly are changes released to production, what piece of code is included in a given release, and so on. Using the Release iCube, Project Managers can gain insights into important business questions such as:
