Questions tagged [code-freeze]

Code freeze is a part of the development lifecycle in which the version control system is locked, so new revisions of source files cannot be checked into the repository.

Code freeze is meant to enforce stability within the codebase of a software project by disallowing the introduction of changes. This ensures that manual and automated test results are consistent through the quality assurance cycle and that any defects within the software are not fixed in a haphazard fashion in preparation for a release.
