Build in a manual testing project

What is a build in a manual testing project? plz give me an example.

NOTE : [I][This question was asked by Mohan][/I]

[COLOR="Purple"]hi
A software application is released to test in a number of stages called builds.It depends upon the application that how many builds will be released before it actually goes on air.Every build comprises of a set of new features
For a standalone application a build is a exe file and a web application its a Link to the new page being released.
Putting in simpler terms
Lets take an example of a new recipie ur trying.It consist of a series of steps...Like add salt,chilli,sause etc....
After every step(build) u will taste it(Testing!!) to see everything is going well and fine...take the feed backs(bug reports)and try to improve ur recipie...add something else to taste better(patches) and then if it really taste awesome serve it to your guest(Release)..

Tell me if i confused u
:D

Build is an APPLICATION UNDER TESTING whether it is a Manual testing project or an Automation testing project. :D

Any further clarifications? Feel free to ask :)

Hi Rose,

Actually i thought a small change should be added to your answer you told that : " Build depends upon the application that how many builds will be released before it actually goes on air " you mean to say build depends on the stability of the application(less number of bugs in application).

only this point is not clear it will be glad if you explain this point

Nice selection of example Rose ..keep it up.

:)

[COLOR="Purple"][FONT="Courier New"]Yes ramana...that made things much more clear...

And thanks for the compliment[/FONT][/COLOR]:cool:

Build is nothing but a compiled form of a code with a unique build no.
whenever build enters the system,the tester checks to see what are the new features added,what are the old features which are edited,and which one are the old stable features.Tester writes test cases for new features and for the old edited features.If there are 10 features which need to be verified , a build is incomplete till the time all test cases are executed.If there are 10 features and for them say 100 bugs are filed, then these bugs will need to be fixed and it means then new build will come.

Thanks

Friends I completely agree with Ruchika

That's the cycle of the build til the final delivery.
1. Whn ever any build comes it's tested & new changes or bugs r reported.
2. Now Whn the new changes r done & released that is wht It's new build with specific level.
And tht's the cycle of build on changes every time new build is introduced.

Build is a exe file for windows applications and for a web application there can be links to new pages being released.

Whether we are doing manual testing or automated testing, build meaning is same in each case.

In the above u mentioned the Build as a exe...
Is tht rt ? As for me concerned it is not so it is a completed code ready for testing in the form of .jar file ......
If iam wrong pl correct me..

Rgds,

Hi,
The example given by Rose is really good.

And a .jar file will come in to picture if the project is gettng developed in Java....

Correct me ,if i am wrong.

Thanks
