# Release processes

With release processes, you can define, execute, and track release and quality-related activities.

In this topic:

## Overview

Use release processes to gain control and visibility into the activities that make up your release lifecycle.

ALM Octane's release processes allow you to identify issues and bottlenecks. You can also examine planned versus actual times for each stage and activity, and improve the planning for the same processes in the next release.

Example: Running a regression cycle involves a series of stages and stakeholders: Prepare test suites, plan suite runs, prepare and configure an environment for testing, run the tests, analyze the results.

The release process entity provides you a way to coordinate and manage all the stages and activities from within ALM Octane.
