Build automation is the process of scripting and automating the tasks involved in compiling source code, running tests, and packaging software for release, such as with Make, Gradle, or Maven. Software engineers and DevOps practitioners use it to eliminate manual, error-prone build steps and ensure consistent, repeatable builds. It is a foundational practice for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
