When did PR (pull request) become a stage?

Read Original

The article critiques the evolving terminology in software development, specifically questioning when a 'Pull Request' (PR) became considered a formal stage in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), particularly for executing functional tests. The author expresses confusion over industry reports that label PR as a stage, arguing it is a request/activity, not a stage itself, and discusses the importance of precise terminology.
