Features enabled by installing VSTS or VSTT on TeamBuild machine

  • Article

Users will need to install Visual Studio Team Test edition (VSTT) or Visual Studio Team System edition (VSTS) along with TeamBuild to enjoy the complete feature set offered by TeamBuild.

Here are some important features enabled by installing VSTT or VSTS:

  1. Team System Tests integration: tests included in TeamBuild scripts will run.
  2. Complete support of C++ projects : TeamBuild compiles only ‘ISO C++ applications’ and ‘Managed C++ apps (safe and pure mode). Installing VSTS or VSTT will bring the complete support for C++ compilation.
  3. Compiling VS setup projects : msbuild does not have native support for building VS setup projects. Users will need to choose ‘devenv’ command line to compile these projects.
  4. Code Analysis Integration: Code Analysis (a.k.a FXCop) rules included in TeamBuild scripts will run.
