2. Build vNext in VSO and TFS 2015

3. Why?

4. Common questions… How do I run a script after I build the solution?
Can I integrate with XYZ?
Can I build Android or iOS?
Why do I need a current VS to edit a build definition?

5. Common questions… Where’s the raw build log?
How do I integrate test and coverage results?
OMGWTF!? Have you open a XAML definition?!!
How do I keep all my agents up to date?
Why do all the binaries get dumped in a single folder?

6. Team Build is dead. Long live Team Build
Team Build is dead*! Long live Team Build! * no, not actually dead – just renamed to XAML Build

7. Build Tasks
No XAML
No MSBuild
Cross Platform

9. Architectural changes

10. Co-exists with XAML builds
The physical controller is no longer needed
Collections use agent pools. Pools defined at the deployment level
Agents are updated automatically, via xcopy deployment

11. Http Traffic Machine 1 C1 TFS Deployment A1 A2 Pool2 Pool1 Machine 2

A4P2
A5P2

12. Improved Security Each build in it’s own process.
No more hung file locks if the build crashes
Each build is given a limited time, limited scope access token.
Devs can’t write a unit test to access things they shouldn’t.

13. Extensibility

14. Scripts before Tasks Generally, you shouldn’t need to add a task.
Use tasks to avoid repetition of scripts.

17. Gaps

18. Just a few gaps Gated Builds (eta 2015.2)
Labelling and tagging sources (2015.1)
Throttling (i.e. no more than x min)
Client side workspace mapping with TFVC (2015.1)
Build chaining

19. Demo - SonarQube

20. Demo – SonarQube

21. Wrap up

22. Key Thoughts Build vNext (Team Build) is the future.
XAML Builds still work, but start transitioning existing builds.
Do you need to write custom tasks or scripts?
Extend out from build to better understand technical debt.
