TFS Check-In Validation Tool
October 21, 2008 1 Comment
New tool was released on CodePlex called TFS Check-in Validation Tool.
This tool provides the ability to have a checkin validating by a build prior to being checked in. This is similar to a feature in TFS 2010 called Gated Checkin, which is integrated into VS and TFS (more info in this video). With both of these the goal is to prevent build breaks from being checked in by validating them beforehand.
If you really like it and are interested in doing something similar with TFS 2008 (before TFS 2010) comes out, you can check out this new project on CodePlex: http://www.codeplex.com/BuddyBuild.
It is not a part of TFS and the implementation is unrelated to the TFS 2010 Gated checkin feature.
