→Qualities of the Build and Release Process
* '''Repeatability''' - Given the same inputs, the B&R process must reliably produce the same outputs every time.
* '''Automation''' - Since portions of the B&R process will be repeated thousands of times through the life of a product, automation is used to ensure consistency, reduce labour, and maximize throughput.
* '''Speed/efficiency''' - To enable fast development, testing, and patching cycles, B&R processes are usually optimized for speed, using a number of strategies including distributed processing - : build jobs may be spread across dozens or hundreds of machines.* '''Security''' - It's important that the build processes guard against the introduction of malicious code into the distributed software.
