Note: The ONAP Streamlining - The Process Release Plan has been approved by ONAP TSC

Release Plan Overview

• Marketing version, Montreal, will be scheduled as the previous releases, with following changes (see next two pages for more details)
  • Setting release schedule plans for Montreal with Start / RC / Sign off dates only
  • The Marketing version will be used as the Major version by ONAP projects
  • PTLs decide the minor and patch versions, based on their project release cycles and share the project versioning with TSC
    • provide each project release flexibility and evolution
• Integration & Pair-wise testing
  • Integration testing will continue to increase ONAP project overall qualities
  • Pair-wise testing will continue but it will be based on use cases
  • Project testing will be performed by each project team
• For Montreal, security scanning will continue as before
• Based on feedback during the Montreal, the release plan can be revisited

Release Plan Planning Cycle

• Marketing release start, RC and Sign off dates will be set (by release manager with TSC approval)
• Each PTL determines their project agile cycle(s) based their features
• PTLs/Feature owners coordinate with ARCCOM/REQCOM/SECCOM/TSC for the feature review and approval per agile iteration
• PTLs/Feature owners may work with OOM, INT and DOC for build, testing and documentation, as needed
• Each agile iteration/sprint is reviewed and critiqued by the project team (and ARCCOM/REQCOM/SECCOM/INT/TSC as needed…) and is used to determine what the next step (PTL decides it) until RC
  • e.g., priorities, guidance, standards, security…
• After Montreal, we may want to revisit the Marketing release RC and Sign off
