We develop in an agile fashion, so we are constantly upgrading the platform with minor feature improvements. It’s common the platform will see weekly production upgrades. Before the upgrades happens, any code changes are automatically tested with our rigorous unit and integrations test suite which ensures we avoid any breaking changes or security vulnerabilities. Software upgrades happen in the cloud without any service disturbance.
The development revision history is maintained in GitHub which stores information on whether each code commit has passed unit tests and has been reviewed to adhere to our standards. - Vulnerability management type
