I'm also doing CI for my SharePoint projects, but I don't prefer TC as Build Server or Build Agent. I prefer just plain MSBuild. By using MSBuild I'm able to do a kind of local CI befor I push my latest changes across to the SourceControl. Sure MSBuils isn't as comfortable as TC but I tried all of them including TC, TeamBuild 2010, Rake and MSBuild. I'n my opinion only two valid build engines pass my tests which are MSBuild and Rake on the other hand. By using such a basic technologie which is easy to extend I'm able to achieve all the requirements that are present for a front-to-end build within the SharePoint context. What's your opinion right now, over a year after publishing this post? Hi Andrew,

Ben, sorry for the delay.

a) We do install SharePoint on the build server if we need to do any integration testing. If you are just doing things like FxCop, SPDisposeCheck and Unit Testing with full isolation then you can manage without.
b) On checkin to validate the code, unit tests etc., in addition nightly builds for more involved integration and coded UI tests.

Two questions:<br><br>(a) Do you normally have SP also installed on the Build Server or are you just confirming it builds successfully and confirms to SPDisposeChecker etc.?<br>(b) Do you prefer nightly builds or continuous integration to build on check-in for example?<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Ben Nice post Andrew. Two questions:

(a) Do you normally have SP also installed on the Build Server or are you just confirming it builds successfully and confirms to SPDisposeChecker etc.?
(b) Do you prefer nightly builds or continuous integration to build on check-in for example?

Today, I have been asked to recommend a CI server for a SP2010 project . Tony (Wor) at ID mentioned Team City to me sometime ago seems as ever he made a smart choice. I have couple of questions: <br>1) Do think there will be any issues if I install team city on the dev single server, SP2010 Farm - in terms of load. Saves on tin I am told....<br>2) Are those James Fisk or perhaps your sample MSBuild Scripts available to view or download.<br><br>Daniel Timely and informative post.
