  16. What’s New in TFS 2008 Summary • Upgrade from TFS 2005 to TFS 2008 • 2005 clients can talk to 2008 with very few issues • Much improved performance / reliability • Some new features – build is the major one.

  17. Automating your builds with Team Foundation Server 2008 Martin Woodward Senior Software Engineer Teamprise

  18. Build Automation is not … F5

  19. Build Automation is … Collecting Assembling Validating Auditing

  20. Build automation helps you answer the tough questions • Do our bits create a product? • Are we on schedule? • Is our product high quality? Build automation’s value is in making it trivial to take the pulse of your team

  21. Team Build 2008 • Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server Build is the official name of the feature • Core feature of TFS—you don’t buy it on its own • Industrial strength build automation in Team System • Provides the “F5” experience for your team

  22. Demo Using Build in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2008

  23. Build Execution BuildDefinition \ TFSBuild.proj

  24. Continuous Integration Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily – leading to multiple integrations per day. Martin Fowler

  25. How CI Works in 2008 Power Tool to be released after RTM Developer notifies submits Notification Application Changeset processes Version Control Service Check-in Event raises Database handles polls Build Service queries handles Build Definitions queues Build Completion Event receives raises Build Build Agent Build Queue starts services

  26. Run Flexibility • Ability to kick off a build on demand via Visual Studio UI or from the command line • New Continuous Integration support and GUI management of builds • Support for scheduled builds • Managed API also exposed for rich control

  27. Multiple Remote Build Machines • Team Build is designed to support multiple build machines (build agents) • Chosen via UI or command-line when build is requested • TFS 2008 supports easily adding new build agents without creating new builds • Can even have multiple build agents running on one machine

  28. Build Management • Manual process in TFS 2005 • Command-line deletion of builds • Manual management of drops • Team Build 2008 provides GUI features to manage builds and artifacts • Team Build 2008 supports retention policy for builds and automatic clean up

  29. Build Notifications • Using the project alerts feature, anyone can subscribe to build notification events • Two events supported out of the box • E-mail notification generated • Build status changes • Build completes • Build Notification Power Tool shipping post release (beta versions available)

  30. Team Build Architecture • Team Build uses MSBuild engine • Consists of • MSBuild tasks for Team System components (testing, code churn, update work items etc.) • MSBuild project file (.proj), created via GUI, that defines build options.

  31. Team Build Architecture Calls Runs msbuildm.exe msbuild.exe SolutionA.sln SolutionB.sln msbuild.exe BuildDefinition\ TFSBuild.proj Team Foundation Server Build Agent Compiles

  32. Core build defined in TfsBuild.proj Check-out for edit and modify Targets group tasks together in a particular order Allow sections of the build process to be called from the command line Targets contain tasks Tasks Tasks are defined operations that live in a managed assembly They provide the code that runs during the build process You can write your own Implement ITask Derive from helper class Task Customizing the Build

  33. Customizing the Build • Properties pre-defined to control build • Targets in Build designed to be overriden

  34. Desktop Builds • Build scripts work on desktops also • Can install build server locally for UI support and publication • Can use command-line for private, personal builds

  35. Only 3 Things You Need To Know • MSDN Help—Understanding Team Foundation Build Configuration Files • http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms400710(VS.90).aspx • Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets file • %ProgramFiles%\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\TeamBuild\ Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets !! NEVER EDIT THIS FILE !! • Many custom tasks already published—search before your write your own

  36. Demo Customizing the Build Process

  37. Team Build Managed API • Access to same API used by Team Build • Allows you to automate everything done in UI & more • Can build integration with existing build systems (Nant, Ant, make etc) into Team Build

  38. Team Build Managed Code API IBuildAgent TeamFoundationServer IQueuedBuild IBuildServer IBuildDetail TeamProject IBuildDefinition ISchedule ContinuousIntegrationType

  39. Team Build API Example C# TeamFoundationServertfs = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(“http://tfsserver:8080”); IBuildServerbuildServer = (IBuildServer)tfs.GetService(typeof(IBuildServer)); IBuildDefinitionbuildDef = buildServer.GetBuildDefinition("TeamProject", "Build Name"); buildServer.QueueBuild(buildDef); VB.NET Dim tfs As TeamFoundationServer = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer("http://tfsserver:8080") Dim buildServer As IBuildServer = DirectCast(tfs.GetService(GetType(IBuildServer)), IBuildServer) Dim buildDef As IBuildDefinition = buildServer.GetBuildDefinition("TeamProject", “Build Name") buildServer.QueueBuild(buildDef)

  40. Demo Using the Managed Code API for Team Build 2008

  41. Summary • Team Build allows for consistent and repeatable builds • MS Build engine support provides for limitless extensibility • Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server version of Team Build provides dramatic improvement
