VC Team Release Candidate Drive Activity
Many of you probably wonder what happens after a final Beta and before the final release. We will work to deliver a Release Candidate, which we will use to validate the resolution of Beta 2 issues that met the product "bar." Also, as we shut down the product for the Beta 2 release, there were some issues that we had to put on hold. Those issues are what the dev team have been working hard to get fixed, not just in VC but across the division. The QA team is adding any final tests and going through a few full test passes, where every test case on file is run (automated or manual). The PM team has continued evangelism efforts and now looks through the product issues to find which we can address now and which need more time to design and resolve. The division release team is watching over all of the teams very closely to make sure we are on track to shut down together and in time for a release later this year. Soon we'll start up our daily shiproom again, and I'll be giving you peeks into the types of issues we track and how we make our decisions.
