Special recruitment is the name of a procedure that may also be used for software releases.
Those who understand what the Japanese word for releasing software by special recruitment means are those who work in the department that manages shipments on the manufacturer’s production line or the department that guarantees quality . I think it will be.
For other people, I think we can only understand that there is a software release with the name of special adoption. Special adoption is a term that refers to the procedure when a manufacturer ships a product, not just software . It is a technical term that is also used in ISO9001, the international standard for product quality control, so it is a word that is unfamiliar to those who are not familiar with the work of quality control.
And since the software is also a product shipped by the manufacturer, the software is also shipped by special adoption. In software, shipping is often referred to as release, so in this article we refer to it as specially adopted software release .
If there is a release with special adoption, is there also a release with normal adoption?
We don’t often say that the term " release by special recruitment " is paired with the release by regular recruitment. It’s not special, so it 's usually called a software release . In other words, there are two types of names that represent procedures related to software release: software release and software release by special adoption.
By the way, software also has names such as α version, β version, and regular version. These are names for the purpose of software, and these are relatively common names, so I think you will often hear them.
Although the introduction has become long, this article will introduce what kind of software release by special adoption is based on the experience of Father Gutara.
In addition, the explanation of the word special recruitment and the inappropriate use of the word special recruitment in the problem of falsification of inspection data that was popular in newspapers and TV news programs at the beginning of 2018 will be touched upon later in this article. I will do it.
What kind of shipping procedure is special recruitment?
Special adoption is a shipping procedure in which products that fail to meet the standards in normal shipping inspections are re-examined and do not meet the standards, but only this time, let’s specially permit shipping. It is a thing. Of course, it is a shipping method that can be used with the consent of the customer only if the contents of the standards that do not meet are carefully checked and there is no quality problem in using it as a product and the validity can be confirmed .
Imagine, for example, that the product itself is okay, but the outer box is dirty . Suppose that the outer box is also a part of an important product and the packing specifications are decided, and it is stated that there is no big dirt on it. Then, if the outer box is dirty, it does not meet the standard of packing specifications, so the manufacturer rejects the product and cannot ship it .
However, if a customer who said, “of dirt out of the box will accept delivery because there is no problem if this degree" is, but is rejects that there is dirt in the outer box, specially shipped only in this time of manufactured goods To do . This is a specially adopted shipment.
For example, instead of shipping the product to the end user as it is, the customer takes out the content product from the outer box, repacks it in a beautiful cosmetic box together with the product of another manufacturer, and ships it to the end user. There are many things like this. In this case, it doesn’t matter to the customer if the outer box is a little dirty. Anyway, the outer box is thrown away in the process of refilling the customer’s cosmetic box. In such a case, the dirt on the outer box is not a quality problem considering the situation required by the end user, and the quality of the product is reasonable, so it can be shipped by special adoption.
When is the software that can be released as a special recruit?
Then, when shipping = releasing software, even if the software fails because it does not meet the standards, what is the case when the release is permitted by special adoption ? Satisfying the standard is a method of shipping judgment regarding the hardware of the product. There are standards such as dimensions, heat resistance, and strength, and it is necessary to meet these standards.
In the case of software, as corresponding to the word at the standard referred to in the hardware, function / performance / stability, etc. There are a variety of words, and summarized in a word meets the quality required for the shipment , that It is a thing. Therefore, when considering what quality items are used to determine whether or not to release software, it is easy to understand that the software is released by special adoption.
Well, to put it simply, when the quality is a little insufficient to officially release, let’s release with this quality only this time is the release of software by special adoption. Well, this is too vague.
Let’s break down a little more. Father Gutara checked two qualities , process quality and product quality , and decided whether or not to release the software. And for each of process quality and product quality, if the validity can be confirmed for a slight shortage of the quality shown in the following items and the customer approves it, special adoption Allowed release by .
- Some of the planned tests have not been completed yet (insufficient process quality)
- The identification of potential bugs has not been completed yet (product quality)
- The impact of residual bugs on service provision remains (product quality)
I will introduce these three items in the next article more specifically.
