<p>Discussion on software versioning and data processing versioning</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an ideal word:</p>

<p>- mass production at fixed times in the years (twice per year, e.g. April and October)</p>

<p>- software is frozen only once validated from the testing phase described above - this corresponds to a version</p>

<p>- the test production (last step of preparation) should not be the place where bugs and problems are found, only data_processing should be modified there. the test production is not the software test. that is accomplished in step 2 of the software development tests described above</p>

<p>- If a problem is found: only solve it, not add additional modification</p>

<p>- the software test should be reported at the DPDQ working group</p>

<p>- Software releases and mass processing are decoupled processes.</p>

<p>- GANTT</p>

<p>Action point:</p>

<p>- write down all the above in a reasonable way (Luigi). Then discuss it</p>
