Integrated Testing

Team Foundation Server Build includes the ability to run automated build verification tests as part of the build process. This helps teams to test and diagnose an application during the build process, giving them better insight into the state of the application, and helping them to write quality code.

Build verification tests can be specified when a new build type is created using a test list already created in Visual Studio 2005. The test list may include any type of automated test, including unit, Web, load, and ordered tests. These tests can be run during the build or as an automated task when a build run fails.

To view this feature, create a new build type under the Team Builds node in the Team Explorer.
