Key Aspects of Version Upgrades
Types of Version Upgrades:
Major Upgrades: Introduce new features, significant changes to architecture, or UI redesigns. May require retraining users.
Minor Upgrades: Add new functionalities or improvements without major changes. Typically backward compatible.
Patch Updates: Focus on fixing bugs, security vulnerabilities, or minor issues without altering core functionalities.
Challenges in Patch Updates & Regression Fixes
Complexity of Dependencies: Changes in one part of the application can affect others unexpectedly.
Time Constraints: Urgent patches (especially for security vulnerabilities) may require quick fixes with limited testing.
Test Coverage: Inadequate testing can lead to undetected regressions.
Communication Gaps: Miscommunication between development, QA, and operations can delay fixes.
Benefits of Effective Application Deployment
Faster Time-to-Market: Quick and efficient release of new features.
Reduced Downtime: Minimized service disruptions with strategies like blue-green deployments.
Improved Quality: Faster feedback loops through automated testing and deployment.
Scalability: Easier to manage updates in large-scale applications.
Bug Fixing Process include Bug Identification, Bug Triage (which means Prioritization and assign bug to the developer team), Diagnosis, Fix Implementation, Testing, Deployment and documentation
