[STALE] - moved to Server Release Process

Introduction

This is a proposed Services Release Process. In the spirit of having time based releases, the goal of this process is to have a set interval when server side changes are pushed to production. This is to drive a consistent and predictable flow of changes on the server side. We will start with a weekly push and refine the process as we go.

Sequence of events

Weekly

  • Tuesday - Features going into that week's push are determined at the Services Weekly Meeting. A drop to Test will be made by EOB Tuesday.
  • Friday - Test will sign off by EOB
  • Monday - Production pushes will be done every Monday in the evening. The maintenance window is 3 - 5 PM PST.

Monthly

  • For resource planning, there will be a monthly meeting with security (other groups too perhaps) to go over the up coming month's work. (jarguello will add this link)

Hand off from Engineering to Test Checklist

  • A tag with changes
  • A test plan for changes (Template of this coming soon)
  • Security Documentation Update and Security Sign Off (If necessary)
  • Dev will file deploy bugs with any special instructions for service ops.
  • Dev will send e-mail to services-qa@mozilla.com with the buglist, test plan link, location of staging environment and staging database
  • Service Ops will push to staging.
  • NOTE: staging environment and staging database need to be stable during testing period. Otherwise, please notify Test by sending a notification e-mail to services-qa@mozilla.com

Test Sign Off

Test will sign off on the changes when the following criteria are met:

  • QA regression tests pass
  • cross environment tests pass
  • Test plan passes
  • Service Ops signs off on any load testing if necessary
  • Test sends e-mail notification to services-qa@mozilla.com with results

Push to Production

  • The maintenance window is 3 - 5 PM PST.
  • The pertinent dev, test, and service ops folks should be there
  • Test will validate the changes are working in Production and will send an e-mail to services-qa@mozilla.com notifying that the push was a success or needs to be rolled back.
