Showing tag results for Team Build

Rido posted a cool way to see your test results from a build without having to copy the information locally and view it in VS.  Pretty cool! TestResults Reports in TFS Builds If you use TFSBuilds with VS UnitTests, you know how to inspect the TestResults: you must download the whole directory to your local machine, and sometimes this fo...

For those of you in the Chicago area that use Team System, Clark Sell will be presenting at the Chicago VSTS Users Group meeting.  It should be a great time to learn more about VSTS!

Building Non-MSBuild Projects With Team Build Building non-MSBuild projects in Team Build has never been a particularly nice experience...  You can make it ...

Last fall, Clark Sell wrote a blog post called Stop, the build is broken!! that introduced a checkin policy that reported errors when the build was broken.  If you are using continuous integration where every checkin starts a build, you want folks to stop and fix build breaks when they occur, rather than pile on more checkins and perhaps ...

A new high-level roadmap for Orcas, Rosario, and Power Tools is now available.  The Visual Studio Team System Future Releases web page covers these topics at varying levels of detail, with the greatest amount detail being supplied for Orcas, of course.  The Orcas TFS information is basically the same as what we've published before. Here'...

Jason Prickett, a developer on Team Build, has written some very nice posts.  All of these posts only work with Team Build Orcas. The first one shows a very cool Vista sidebar which Jason has fiddled with a while back as a side project and finally got around to finishing it off and making it available.  His post has a screenshot as ...

Aaron Hallberg took a month off after the birth of his daughter, Stella.  Now that he's back, he's got a couple of interesting posts.
