Software Changes

For each software repository, the changes are listed in 2 categories:

Planned Updates
Other Updates

The ‘Planned Updates’ are organized by ‘Themes’ (or ‘Release Themes’), which are defined in advance and approved by the PDS Software Working Group (see Plan B16).

The ‘Other Updates’ occurs during the build cycle without being planned or attached to a theme. They are organized by types (bug, enhancements, requirements, tasks). Any updates that require a de-scope of planned tasks are reviewed by the PDS Software Working Group.

The deliveries are validated by the development team and go through an additional Integration & Test process, as applicable, as indicated by the `Testing Status` column in the tables below. There are 3 possible statuses for testing:

🔵 Skip Testing - Testing is not needed for this ticket. These are determined at the discretion of the team based upon the technical or operational nature of the closed task.
🟡 Testing Needed
🟢 Testing Complete - Initial testing complete, and test cases/results documented.
