This executable may then be tested via debugging and different kinds of manual and automated tests to validate code quality. The build process produces an application executable. By building then debugging, you can also find and fix run-time errors such as logic, IO, and divide-by-zero errors.Ī successful build means the source code contains correct syntax and all static references to libraries, assemblies, and other components can resolve.
It's important to build your code often to allow you to quickly identify type mismatches, erroneous syntax, misspelled keywords, and other compile-time errors. Visual Studio for Mac can be used to build applications and create assemblies during the development of your project.
