Another Wiki Starter. This time on Build Management…
Build management encompasses the control of builds and all of the requirements an organization may have related to builds. Security, version configuration control, logging, audit, impact analysis, reporting, standardization, compliance, verification, deployment, roles, responsibilities and automation may all be involved in build management.

Build management is often cited as an essential part of software configuration management. While many version control tools claim the ability to provide configuration management, they usually only provide application source code configuration management whereas it is the build that translates the source code configuration into the runtime configuration. Without effective build management, source configuration management can not be trusted to match the testing and production runtime environments.
