Answer / saff

when a product/project is under development it is divide in
to several modules and developed
and this modules are furthur dividedin to small units

so whenever a unit or a particualy module is developed by
developer it is stored in one place and like this remaiing
modules are also stored in that place
the process of storing the product in one place untill it
developed completely is called build

where as release is when the whole project is done the
project is handedover

what is build and release?..

Answer / ashutosh singh

According to my understanding
Build - developer write some code for new functionality or bug fixes and then checckin the code, Config Team take the changes and give it a name or number eg build 1.1 and this is fwd to test engineers as a form of deployment who test by mentioning that build 1.1 is being tested.

Next build come with more code and more defect fixes then it should have version 1.2

now Release is when things are ready and are in a state to hand it over to the client or customer who owns the application where the company would name the Release as release 1.2
