We have a Visual Studio solution that uses some external assemblies coming from third parties. This solution resides in TFS 2010 version control. We have configured Team Foundation Build to do automatic builds of the solution. As you know you should put any external assemblies in TFS Version Control to do a proper build without …
If you are going to start using TFS 2010 please be aware that each TPC (Team Project Collection) needs a separate Build Controller. For those who are intended to use TFS 2010 as their ALM engine, TFS 2010 can contain several TPCs. Each TPC can contain several Team Projects. Each Team Project is a regular …
While using TFS 2010 as the only repository of source code and project management repository for a company with more than 10 developer, it is very important to handle backup/restore plans as accurate as possible. As I needed to backup such a TFS server correctly, I have compiled a check list for myself that I’d …
It’s a few months that I am dealing with continuous integration, automatic builds, TFS and Team Foundation Build deeply. Experiences during this period learned me some points that I’m glad to share with all: 1. Don’t assume anything about build agent. Specifically don’t assume any library is installed on the agent, any assembly registered in …
WF یا همان Window Workflow Foundation فناوری جدیدی است که مایکروسافت از نسخه 3.0 به دات‌نت اضافه کرده و در نسخه 4.0 حسابی به آن رسیده است. ظاهراً این فناوری برای مایکروسافت خیلی با ارزش است چون سعی دارد این فناوری را مدام توسعه داده و از آن در جاهای مختلف استفاده کند. مثلاً مایکروسافت …
It was a while that I was searching a way increasing version number of a .Net assembly by each build. In the beginning there were very ambiguity for myself that I tried to solve one by one: 1. When to increase assemblies version? Each time that developer builds the project on his (her) machine? Or …
Despite debate of these days which argue that Subversion‘s gold days has been gone and it must be replaced with a distributed SCM like Git, we recently get rid of SourceSafe and migrated to Subversion happily. Before continuing I must emphasis that we were not the only company that uses SourceSafe. There are yet many …
These days I’m convincing some colleagues and managers to not use TFS and use SVN instead. I’m pretty sure that SVN fits better into our hardware and knowledge limitations. Additionally we are going to use TFS just for source controlling. For me, SVN has many advantages over TFS even when pricing is not a matter: …
این یک مقایسه سریع السیر بین این دو روش یا متودولوژی توسعه نرم افزار است که یکی از آنها در آخر کار بیشتر بررسی شده است. سریع السیر بودن یعنی این که ممکن است خیلی چیزها از قلم افتاده یا اشتباه کوچکی رخ داده باشد. از آنجا که وقت خیلی زیادی برای انجام این کار …
از چند وقت پیش که استفاده از سورس کنترل TFS به جای ویژوال استودیو در دستور کار قرار گرفت فهمیدم که از TFS می‌توان به جای جیرا که الان از آن استفاده می‌کنیم هم استفاده کنیم. وجود امکانات دیگری مثل بیلدهای اتوماتیک و Code Analysis به هنگام check-in برنامه نویسان انگیزه خیلی خوبی شد برای …
