Hi,
As I got more and more hooked with agile development, I finally got so far to create my own continious integration server.
I never been on the admin side of things, though I did use TFS and SVN (as user).
Having a BizSpark Subscription, I got myself TFS 2010 and installed it on a spare laptop running Win7 (Getting me a proper box this weekend, and will install TFS all over on WinServer 2008).
Got it working to the point where one create "collections" on the server, then connect to it from VS 2010 (on another machine), create a project, checking in and out. That works fine, but obviously having source control in place is just the most basic functionality....still have to get to it being a build server, running tests, generating notifications etc....stuff I don't have a clue about.
Anyone else went this route figuring out TFS all by themselves that can give me some tips and pointers in the right direction?
Also I'm curios to know, that once I get to having test run with builds, are one restricted to using msUnit, or can I use nUnit (like I do now)?
On the "server", can TFS actually build projects and run code by itself (after being configured), or do I need to install VS on it as well?
Bit lost as to "what's next" here.
