Software build
A software build is the process of converting source code files into standalone software artifact(s) that can be run on a computer, or the result of doing so. In include functions such as version control, code quality analysis, compilation, and linking.
In software production, builds optimize software for performance and distribution, packaging into formats such as '.exe'; '.deb'; '.apk'.
The build process often employs specialized tools such as CMake, Make, or Gradle, and integrates with automation systems including Jenkins or GitHub Actions. Despite advancements, challenges such as dependency conflicts, platform compatibility, and long compile times, remain problems.
In software development, building software is an end-to-end process that involves many distinct functions. Some of these functions are described below.
The version control function carries out activities such as workspace creation and updating, baselining and reporting. It creates an environment for the build process to run in and captures metadata about the inputs and output of the build process to ensure repeatability and reliability.
Tools such as Git, AccuRev or StarTeam help with these tasks by offering tools to tag specific points in history as being important, and more.
Also known as static program analysis/static code analysis this function is responsible for checking that developers have adhered to the seven axes of code quality: comments, unit tests, duplication, complexity, coding rules, potential bugs and architecture & design.
Ensuring a project has high-quality code results in fewer bugs and influences nonfunctional requirements such as maintainability, extensibility and readability; which have a direct impact on the ROI for a business.
