Change Management
Introduction
Effective change management is crucial for maintaining software quality and team productivity. Our approach ensures that changes are properly evaluated, approved, and implemented.
We establish clear processes for managing changes, backed by robust version control systems.
We host a private Git server to manage our code repositories, ensuring secure and reliable version control.
Our Approach
Version Control
We use Git with a clear branching strategy to manage changes. Issues are managed using a dedicated tracker, ensuring transparency and accountability. Features and fixes merged into a release branch undergo thorough testing before deployment.
Code Review Process
Changes usually go through peer review to maintain code quality and share knowledge across the team. Depending on the nature of the change, reviews may involve multiple team members or specialists.
Code is usually linted and tested automatically using CI/CD pipelines to catch issues early.
Documentation
Every significant change is documented, ensuring that the rationale and implementation details are preserved.
