Creating a continuous integration build definition in TFBuild

In this recipe, you'll learn how to author a continuous integration build definition.

Getting ready

Scenario: The FabrikamTFVC Team wants to set up a build definition that is executed on every code check-in. The Team wants to run this build definition using Pool 1, which has the required frameworks installed to compile the code and execute unit tests.

To create a new build definition, you need to have the build definition author or builder's permissions. This permission can be granted by adding yourself to the Build Administrators Security Group.

How to do it...
