Hi,

Build : It is the release given by the development team to the testing team. In other words if there is any release happen inside the SDU (Software Develpment Unit) then it is called as Build.

Version : It is the release given to the Client. In other words if there is any release given to the client, then it is called as Version.

Regards,
S. Prasadh Kumar

Build means we made a new software according to client requirement or increase the market abilityVersion means we added the some new functionality in existing software.

Version: best example is QTP 9.0 9.2 9.5 and current one 10 version another example is Microsoft 98 2000 NT XP Vista 

Whenever some changes are added to the existing functionality of application a new pattern will be generated and the new application is termed as new version. 

(Compare the window OS or QTP with their version and changes added to them in release after release) 

Build generally in development life cycle you wont develop all the modules with in a month and release the project instead development will be done module after module for the sake the management will decide when will be the build dates some companies take 1 month to 3 months to release first build and it depends on project duration so Module 1 will be developed and release it to testing team to test the application and on second release module 2 will developed after and integrate it with Module 1(along fixing the issues found in release one) that how the all the modules will be developed and release to test team till all the modules are developed. 

so first release is termed as Build 1 and second release will be termed as Build 2 and so on.

Correct me if i am wrong

Build:  In the development of software programs, developers code a collection of modules, compile them, and send its resulting executable to the test team.  Throughout this process, multiple iterations of this executable is typically released to the test team.  Each of these releases is called a build. 

Version:  When a new requirement is added to the already existing functionality (identified by version), then the version of the program will be changed.  For example, XYZ 3.1 becomes XYZ 3.2 with new features and enhancements.
