Description: A build failure in the context of a continuous integration pipeline refers to a build process that has failed to produce the expected output, which may include errors in code compilation, failures in automated tests, or configuration issues. This type of failure is critical in software development as it disrupts the workflow and can delay the delivery of new features or bug fixes. Build failures can be caused by a variety of factors, such as recent code changes, unavailable external dependencies, or incorrect configurations in the development environment. Identifying and resolving these failures is essential to maintain software quality and ensure that the development team can progress efficiently. In a continuous integration environment, where code is integrated and tested frequently, build failures are a signal that something is not functioning as expected, requiring immediate attention to prevent them from becoming larger issues in the long run.
