Answer / bapu

Patch:A patch (sometimes called a "fix") is a quick-repair
job for a piece of programming. During a software product's
beta test distribution or try-out period and later after the
product is formally released.

i m adding one more word,i.e Release.

Build:Builds and releases are similar, because both builds
and releases are end products of software development processes.
"Build" refers to software that is still in testing, but
"release" refers to software that is usually no longer in
testing.
A build is the process of compiling and testing source code.

Release:Release is that which we finally hand it over to the
client of the project after the development and testing
phases are completed.

Version:Version is the number of releases made according to
the addition of the requirement of the client.
Eg:The released version of a software product has an unique
numerical identifier.This is typically expressed as three
numbers, separated by periods, such as version
1.2.1.,1.2.3..etc.this one commonly followed structure for
these numbers is:
major.minor[.build[.revision]]
In releases,the "major" number is increased when there are
significant jumps in functionality, the "minor" number is
incremented when only minor features or significant fixes
have been added, and the "revision" number is incremented
when minor bugs are fixed.

If I'm wrong please correct me.

Patch: which allows u to enter into build (like a link)

Build: consist the application which we are executing.
In a Version No.of builds will present (depends on
Testing).

Version : after the product is delivered (Ex:Version #1),
if the customer wants new things to update in Version #1
.The developers will add new things in the old Version #1
code,then it is released as Version #2.
