Code Execution

Definitions

1. The act of running compiled or interpreted code so its instructions are actually performed by a processor or runtime. Code execution may happen locally, on a server, inside a container, or within a managed runtime, and its behavior depends on the environment as much as on the code itself.

   In plain English: The process of running code so it actually does work.

   Example: "The build passed, but code execution in production still failed because the runtime lacked the native image-processing library available in staging."
