= Scotched =

Meaning
The term "scotched" is a quality assurance or testing term that refers to a product that has been fully tested and found passing in at least one phase of the Quality Assurance process, but not yet released. While mostly used with software products, the term has also seen use in Trane engineering efforts during hardware IoT prototyping phases. "Released" may refer to either internally or externally released products, software, or services. The key factor to identifying a scotched product in a given organization is that it has passed all tests, but does not yet have a public (whether internal or external clients) release. This may be in the form of version numbers, a "beta-test" addendum to the product name, or any means within an organization that signifies a non-release, test/QA-ready product before finalization in the release process.
