matriisiversio

Matriisiversio refers to a method in software development where a new version of a software product is released simultaneously on multiple platforms or operating systems. This approach aims to provide a consistent user experience across different environments and simplifies the release process for the development team. Instead of staggered releases, where a product might be available on one platform first and then others later, a matriisiversio launch means all intended platforms receive the update at the same time.

This strategy requires significant coordination between development teams, testing departments, and marketing. It ensures that features, bug fixes, and user interfaces are identical or functionally equivalent across all supported platforms upon release. The benefits include a unified marketing message, reduced customer confusion, and easier support since documentation and troubleshooting can be standardized. However, it also presents challenges, such as the complexity of managing different platform-specific requirements and the potential for delays if one platform's development or testing encounters unforeseen issues. The term emphasizes the "matrix" of platforms being updated concurrently.
