What is the difference between Build Management and Release Management? When will conduct build verification and end to end testing?
Build Management is managing the issue fixture tasks in the builds whereas Release management is managing the functionality to be incorporated in the Release.
Build Verification Test (BVT) is done when the build is first received by the testers. The basic functionality is checked with valid data. This is done to check whether the build is testable or not. This is done by testers.
End to End testing is also called system testing. Done by senior test engineers or Test lead.
