The process of converting source code into a standalone form that can be run on a computer or device.
A build is like baking a cake from ingredients (source code) to create a finished product (the executable software).
Developers compile their code to create a build of a new software version, which is then tested before release.
Builds are crucial for testing and deploying new features or fixes, ensuring that software is functional and ready for use.
Regular builds enable continuous integration and delivery, leading to faster releases and more reliable software.
Automate builds with CI/CD tools; regularly update and test builds; maintain version control of builds.
Failing to test builds thoroughly; not automating the build process; build errors due to incomplete dependencies.
Build success rate, build time, number of builds per day.
Jenkins, Travis CI, CircleCI.
