what is hotfix?..

Answer / saurabh_g

A hotfix is a software package that are used to solve a
particular problem/bug. One hotfix may be used to address
more than 1 bug. They are similar to patches. This is more
helpful in regression process because they are prepared in
keeping possible side effects into consideration.

Answer / anu1

A hotfix is code (sometimes called a patch) that fixes a
bug in a product. Users of the products may be notified by
e-mail or obtain information about current hotfixes at a
software vendor's Web site and download the hotfixes they
wish to apply. Hotfixes are sometimes packaged as a set of
fixes called a combined hotfix or a service pack.
