The process of automating the creation of a software build and the associated processes
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Build automation
Build automation is the practice of building software systems in a relatively unattended fashion. The build is configured to run with minimized or no software developer interaction and without using a developer's personal computer. Build automation encompasses the act of configuring the build system as well the resulting system itself.
Build automation encompasses both sequencing build operations via a non-interactive interface – command-line interface tools – and running builds on a shared computer – a server.
