Tarantino Project and MSBuild(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoderferventcoder(836) 3 years, 2 months ago

One feature I wanted to see in Tarantino is the ability to use either NAnt or MSBuild. So I sent in a patch to add MSBuild. If you want to be able to use MSBuild 2.0 with Tarantino, just apply the patch and rebuild. :D I've also included the patch with this post. read more...

Also, how can we get to be more productive in the process? read more...

Tools Matter: Automated Builds / Automated Deployments(ferventcoder.com)

submitted by ferventcoderferventcoder(836) 3 years, 8 months ago

When our testers ask for a build it takes less than three minutes. Run the candidate build with our automated build tool. When that is completed, open the area where the code dropped on the build machine, find the deployment file and run it (double click it). Wait for the deployment script to finish. Inform the tester that it is done. Done. Like dinner. I can deploy to four environments within this 3 minute time frame. Tools matter. Look for your pain points. Then look to what can help solve that. Automation or other tools to help you speed your process up. Always remember that any new tool comes with a learning curve, but with the right tools the ROI is much higher in the end. read more...
