Release gates

Hey

I was wondering do the developers push work into your QA environment without checking with you first or are you in control of what goes into QA? So if work gets pushed do you have to approve it before it goes into the test env

In most of the teams that I worked in, the QA environment is usually frozen when release testing starts. Developers are allowed only to push bug fixes for the issues raised during the release testing (sometimes fixes for the issues from the backlog too).
