The Practice and Future of Release Engineering: A Roundtable with Three Release Engineers

Three release engineers share their perspectives on quality metrics for releases and on continuous delivery's benefits and limitations. They also discuss release-engineering job skills, the required mind-set, the role of education, and cultural change, and they recommend future research areas.
