build release process in jira-software cloud

[Gomez_ Daniel]

Currently we package a build through our release planning process, and then put it to testing. Due to timeline considerations we get pressed to push the build forward even though all tickets are not fully tested. We are not in production yet so we had a little leniency, and low risk, up until now. We need a way to uncouple the release package if a ticket or tickets don’t pass test, and push the rest of the tickets forward. There were talks of release candidates, putting changes into a master branch and controlling pull requests, and separating resources between development and release, in order to pass audit. Even with a way to pull out tickets that don’t make the test, regression testing on the final package would still need to be considered in the timing, due to the interconnections of code and fixes. I'm looking for a better approach in handling this situation.
