Build
A build is a copy of the program or application that the development team gives to the testing group. Testing needs to be done on the build version of the software. Normally, a build version is used for sanity testing. The software’s build version is created more frequently than its release version. The testing team receives an installable software build with a number assigned to it from the development team.
Release
The release is the term used to describe the program that the testing team distributes to the final users. Software no longer needs to be tested after it has been released. The software’s release versions are created less frequently than its build versions. Testers or developers assign the number to installable software before it becomes live to the customers.
