Answer / indhyd

1.Build Mngt is something that deals with the delivery of
the (application)build.Build delivery dates,bug fixes and
subsequent delivery.
Release Mngt deals with the whole delivery process,starting
from requirement gathering to going live.It deals with the
cut off dates.
2.Build verification test is done by testers,not necessarly
done by leads or Sr.Testers.End to End testing is testing
the complete flow of the application.Eg.If there is a
application with different modules,where the data flows
from one module to other,testing the flow of data from one
module to other is called E2E testing.
Again each module is tested indepentently.

2. 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.

Build management : once bug is fixed and any new features
or functionality is added in the application .Then,
delivery a application to testers for testing is Build
management.

After receieved a build, Testers will start a build
verification or smoke testing to confirm a application is
stable or not.

If application is stable.Then , We will start a end to end
testing.

Release management :Release Mngt is delivery all the
tested functionality to live is called Release management
