Software build

[2][3] The build process often employs specialized tools such as CMake, Make, or Gradle, and integrates with automation systems including Jenkins or Git Actions.

Despite advancements, challenges such as dependency conflicts, platform compatibility, and long compile times, remain problems.

The version control function carries out activities such as workspace creation and updating, baselining and reporting.

[7] 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.

The compilation function turns source files into directly executable or intermediate objects.
