Bug Triage
The regular, disciplined meeting where new defects are reviewed, classified, prioritised and assigned — the difference between a live product backlog and a graveyard of unresolved tickets.
Change Failure Rate
The share of deployments that cause a degradation requiring remediation — the DORA metric that keeps delivery speed honest.
Dependency Upgrade Cadence
The habit of upgrading libraries and frameworks in small, continuous, bot-assisted steps — so security patches land in days and the dreaded 'big-bang upgrade' never has to happen.
Deployment Freeze Window
A pre-agreed period during which no non-emergency changes reach production — the operational discipline that protects a business's most exposed hours from avoidable engineering risk.
Flaky Test Management
The discipline of measuring, quarantining and fixing tests that pass and fail without any code change — before the team learns to ignore red builds and ships a real regression past them.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
The practice of provisioning and managing servers, networks, databases and cloud resources through version-controlled definitions rather than manual clicks in a console.
Pull Request Review Discipline
The working agreements that make code review fast, useful and humane — small changes, quick turnaround, clear intent, and comments that improve the system rather than the ego.
Rollback Plan
The pre-agreed, tested sequence for reverting a change if it fails in production — the difference between a five-minute recovery and a five-hour outage.
Zero-Downtime Migration
The set of patterns that move a live system from an old state to a new one — database, service, provider or region — without an outage window, using dual writes, shadow reads, and staged cutovers.
