| <mainDescription><p>
 |
| This working version of the system is the result of putting the implementation of the system through a build process
 |
| (typically an automated build script) that creates an executable version of the system, or one that runs. This
 |
| executable version of the system will typically have a number of supporting files that are also considered part of this
 |
| composite artifact.

| <keyConsiderations><p>
 |
| 
 |
| In an iterative lifecycle, each build must evolve from the previous iteration's build, adding more functionality and
 |
| 
 |
| improving quality.
 |
| 
 |

 |
| 
 |
| <p>
 |
| 
 |
| The purpose of early builds that minimize or eliminate a risk or verify architectural decisions is to achieve
 |
| 
 |
| consistently stable builds in later iterations.
 |
| 
 |

 |

 |
| This work product is&nbsp;almost always a composite product made up of numerous parts required to make the executable
 |
| 
 |
| system. Therefore a build is more than just executable files; it additionally includes such things as configuration
 |
| 
 |
| files, help files, and data repositories that will be put together resulting in the product that will be run by the
 |
| 
 |
| users. The specifics of those parts will vary by technology in use.
