TFS 2008 支援 Continuous Integration

What's 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. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. Many teams find that this approach leads to significantly reduced integration problems and allows a team to develop cohesive software more rapidly. This article is a quick overview of Continuous Integration summarizing the technique and its current usage.

VSTS & TFS 2008 VPC Image

VSTS為三層式架構, 對於想要試用VSTS的人來說, 安裝VSTS是件不容易的事, 除了要裝展示層的VSTE, 還要裝SQL Server, Team Foundation Server及依存服務(WSS, SSRS...等), Microsoft定期都有提供VPC Image(因為會過期, 所以定期 -_- ), 以下的VPC Image到2008年底過期. 內容包含Lv 200, 300 Hands on Lab.(lv200 入門級, lv300 導入上線有一段時間的人比較適合)
