Software Build Stability

A Software Build Stability is a software quality build characteristic that indicates basic software functionality operates without critical failures.

• Context:
  • It can indicate Core Feature Functionality through software build test results.
  • It can reflect Build Quality Level through software build verification metrics.
  • It can determine Testing Readiness through software build stability assessments.
  • It can influence Development Team Decisions through software build stability reports.
  • It can enable Further Testing Activity through software build stability confirmations.
  • ...
  • It can often prevent Testing Resource Waste through software build stability gatekeeping.
  • It can often support Continuous Delivery Practices through software build stability automation.
  • It can often indicate Recent Code Change Impact through software build stability measurements.
  • It can often facilitate Quality Assurance Processes through software build stability tracking.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Minimal Software Build Stability to being a Complete Software Build Stability, depending on its software build feature coverage.
  • It can range from being a Fragile Software Build Stability to being a Robust Software Build Stability, depending on its software build failure tolerance.
  • It can range from being a Temporary Software Build Stability to being a Persistent Software Build Stability, depending on its software build stability duration.
  • It can range from being a Partial Software Build Stability to being a Comprehensive Software Build Stability, depending on its software build test scope.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Application Software Build Stabilitys, such as:
    • Web Application Build Stability demonstrating web application core function operation.
    • Mobile Application Build Stability demonstrating mobile app basic feature availability.
    • Enterprise Application Build Stability demonstrating enterprise software fundamental operation.
  • System Software Build Stabilitys, such as:
    • Operating System Build Stability demonstrating OS core service functionality.
    • Database System Build Stability demonstrating database basic operation capability.
    • Middleware System Build Stability demonstrating middleware service availability.
  • Service Software Build Stabilitys, such as:
    • API Service Build Stability demonstrating API endpoint responsiveness.
    • Microservice Build Stability demonstrating microservice basic functionality.
    • Cloud Service Build Stability demonstrating cloud service operational readiness.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Software Performance Level, which measures execution efficiency rather than basic operational capability.
  • Software Security Posture, which indicates security strength rather than functional stability.
  • Software Code Quality, which reflects code standard compliance rather than build operability.
  • Software Feature Completeness, which measures functionality coverage rather than basic stability.
