The Service requests (SR) are in the nature of application enhancements, changes to the source code, database, production jobs, reports, interface formats etc. The support team should be able to clearly differentiate between the support issue that should be resolved through the support process and the ones that would need SR process to be followed.
The development process should be followed for the SR execution as agreed with the customer. This may include any of the elements of the SDLC from requirements gathering and specifications to the user acceptance testing. The source code control, MTP (Move to Production) and handover to support processes should be clearly defined and followed.
