Why AutoRABIT Is Increasing Our Release Frequency

In the fast-paced world of software development, agility is king. As developers, we’re no strangers to the demands of rapid iteration and continuous improvement—all with the goal of keeping end users satisfied and coming back for more. This means delivering value fast.

This year, the CodeScan team at AutoRABIT has successfully increased their release velocity by 400%.

And we are delighted to announce that the ARM team at AutoRABIT will be dropping the very first release on this new increased cadence on August 25th. By the end of this year, we expect to have achieved an 8X improvement in major release frequency over 2023 for ARM customers.

The Need for Speed: Why Frequent Releases Matter

Let’s start with a fundamental question: Why should we care about releasing software more frequently?

1. Faster Customer-Specific Updates

Higher frequency releases mean we can roll out customer-specific updates faster, whether it’s a critical bug fix or a new feature you’ve been eagerly awaiting.

This agility translates to a better customer experience. We listen to our customers and value user feedback, so we can address concerns more quickly.

2. Higher Quality and Stability

One of the biggest misconceptions about frequent releases is that they lead to lower quality.

In reality, increased release frequency typically goes hand in hand with shortening the lead time for changes because smaller changes are quicker to develop and test. With focused testing on smaller updates, the change failure rate tends to decrease. And if something does go wrong, smaller, more frequent releases mean it’s easier to recover quickly—reducing the mean time to repair.

The result? Higher quality software that’s more stable and reliable. You benefit from a product that’s less likely to break and more likely to meet your needs.

3. Easier Customer Upgrades

Another major benefit of frequent releases is that they make upgrading easier. Instead of one massive release every year or even quarterly, customers get a steady stream of smaller updates.

This not only reduces the burden on you but also ensures you’re always using the latest and greatest version of your software.

This means more opportunities to iterate and improve. It’s a win-win situation that fosters trust and encourages quicker adoption of your software.
