Tootmisvalmis

Tootmisvalmis is a status used in product development to indicate that a product is ready for deployment into a production environment, rather than remaining in development or testing. The term encompasses software, hardware and manufacturing contexts and signals that the item has met predefined criteria for stability, reliability and operability in real-world use, and that the necessary processes for deployment, monitoring and maintenance are in place.

In software development, tootmisvalmis typically means that the release artifact is built, packaged and versioned; automated tests pass; security and performance criteria are met; and comprehensive documentation, rollback procedures and operational monitoring are prepared. It also implies that deployment automation exists and that support and maintenance arrangements are documented.

In hardware and manufacturing contexts, tootmisvalmis denotes that production tooling and processes are validated, the bill of materials is correct, quality controls are established, and manufacturing, installation, service documentation and supply chain considerations are in place. Compliance with applicable standards and regulatory requirements is often part of the readiness criteria.

Common criteria used to determine tootmisvalmis include stability and reliability, security and compliance, documentation and support readiness, deployment and rollback plans, observability and monitoring, reproducible builds or manufacturing batches, and proper packaging or tooling. It is typically distinguished from earlier stages such as alpha, beta or candidate releases, and implies that ongoing change management and incident response processes are ready for production use.
