In addition to purchasing in the store, some msdn users can also get the access.
Volume Licensing for organizations (vlo): A group batch license (a large number of procurement authorization contracts), a preferential method for group purchases. The volumes of these products are marked with the words "vol". Take the first three letters of "volume" to indicate that they are in batch. For example, the vol version of the English wxp pro is wxpvol_en, wx indicates Windows XP, P indicates Professional (Vol does not have the home version), Vol indicates group batch license version, and EN indicates English. The main way to obtain this information is through group purchases, which can be obtained by some msdn users.

Division of software development phases:

1. Software Version Stage Description

* Alpha version: beta version. This version indicates that the software is mainly used to implement software functions at this stage. It is usually used only for internal communication among software developers or testing by professional testers. Generally, this version has many bugs, you need to continue modification.
* BETA: Beta. This version has been greatly improved compared with alpha version, eliminating serious errors, but there are still some defects that need to be further eliminated through multiple tests, this version mainly modifies the software UI for large-scale testing by professional enthusiasts.

* RC version: the abbreviation of release candidate, which indicates the release countdown. The candidate version is quite mature. It completes all functions and clears most bugs, basically, there are no bugs that cause errors, which are similar to the official version to be released.

* Release version: This version indicates the "final version". After a series of Beta versions of the previous version, a formal version will eventually be available, which is a version that is finally delivered to users. This version is also known as the Standard Edition. In general, release does not appear on the software cover in the form of words, instead of the symbol (R ).

2. Version naming rules

The software version number consists of four parts: The first 1 is the major version number, the second 1 is the Subversion number, the third 1 is the stage version number, and the fourth part is the date version number plus the Greek letter version number, there are five Greek letter versions: Base, Alpha, beta, RC, and release. Example: 1.1.1.051021 _ beta.

 

 

 

3. Fixed modification rules for version numbers

* Major version number (1): When the function module changes significantly, such as adding multiple modules or changing the overall architecture. The version number is determined by the project.
* Sub-version (1): When features are added or changed, for example, permission control and custom views are added. The version number is determined by the project.
* Phase version number (1): it is generally a bug fix or a small change. A revision should be released frequently, with no fixed interval. A critical bug can be fixed to publish a revision. The Project Manager determines whether to modify the version number.
* Date version number (051021): used to record the current date of the project to be modified. The date version number must be changed every day for changes to the project. The developer determines whether to modify the version number.
* Greek letter version (Beta): This version number is used to indicate the development stage of the current version of the software. When the software enters another stage, you need to modify the version number. The version number is determined by the project.

4. File naming rules

The file name consists of four parts: The first part is the project name, the second part is the description of the file, the third part is the version number of the current software, and the fourth part is the file stage identification plus the file suffix, for example: Project outsourcing platform test report 1.1.1.051021_beta_ B .xls, this document is a test report for the Project outsourcing platform. The version is 1.1.1.051021 _ beta.

.

When multiple people submit the same document at the same time, they can add names or abbreviations after the stage logo. For example, the Project outsourcing platform test report 1.1.1.051021_beta_ B _liuqi.xls. When this file is submitted again, you can add serial numbers after the person's name or abbreviation, for example, 1.1.1.051021_beta_ B _liuqi2.xls of the Project outsourcing platform test report.

5. Stage ID of the version number

Each software version contains 11 stages. The detailed stages are described as follows:

Stage name stage ID
Requirement control
Design Phase B
Encoding stage C
Unit test D
Unit Test modification E
Integration Test F
Integration Test modify g
System test H
System Test modify I
Acceptance Test J
Acceptance Test modification K
