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
