HBO stage: Automated Generated Release Notes in Eindhoven

Functiebeschrijving

One of the last steps in releasing software packages is the creation of release notes so our internal customers know what to expect.
As we work with digital scrum boards, all the information reflecting the changes in the software is already available. In the current process, the release engineer manually copies and pastes the information from those digital scrum boards to a release document.
As this process can be error-prone, we would like to automate this process.
This task includes:

• Identify the wishes of the stakeholders (What do they want to see in our release notes?)
• Study the software development process to determine which sources can be used to retrieve the information.
• Propose release notes which addressed the stakeholders requirements and can be used across our different platforms and projects
• Study the API's of our toolchain to retrieve the required information
• Implement your proposal and demonstrate your solution meets the requirements

• Hook-up the release notes generation script to our continuous integration environment, so the release notes are created together with the build
• Alignment with different teams within PACCAR, for example at Kenworth (Kirkland, WA, USA)
