Questions tagged [batch-processing]

Batch-processing refers to programmatic execution with minimum human interaction.

Batch processing is a general term for frequently-used programs that are executed with minimum human interaction. Batch-process jobs are often scheduled to start up on their own, as resources permit. Historically and practically, this is integral to scripting; thus the well-known batch file.

Batch processing can as easily refer to performing a sequence of actions on a group (batch) of items, whether in software, manufacturing, agriculture, etc.
