Evolving TFS/Team Services build automation capabilities
We first introduced basic build automation capabilities in TFS 2005 and, over the years, it has evolved substantially. In TFS 2010, we introduced a major update which we now call “XAML build” because the build orchestration layer was based on the XAML workflow engine. As that got adopted, we found that workflow was just not the best representation of build processes – wrong granularity for build, not natural to extend for build, provides capabilities (like durability) that really don’t apply to build, etc.
