This section documents all teh procedures and tools used for the gCube System releases. It is meant to be the central access point for gCube developers, software testers, release managers, and whoever involved in gCube development, for knowing any information about integration, validation and distribution of the gCube System.


Given the big size of the gCube system, its highly modularity and the high number of developers involved in the implementation, the Work Package 7, responsible for the distribution of gCube, defined a set of procedures that formalize and make it easy integrate, test, document and distribute the software by coordinating the different persons involved in the release process. Section Release Procedures provides a detailed description of each procedure by listing for each procedure' step who do what.


Activities in release procedures are highly automated and supported by several tools. The tools offers support in the i) configuration of gCube source code (SCM tools), ii) in the release preparation phase (Trac), iii) in the software integration phase (ETICS, BTRT, the Building Infrastructure), iv) in the testing phase (Checkstyle, Findbugs, ETICS, the Testing Infrastructure), v) in the documentation (Wikimedia) and vi) Distribution (gCube Distribution Site).


Section Testing Plan provides documentation for the support to gCube software testing carried out during integration of system's releases and in continuous integration builds.
