Visual Studio Team System: Better Software Development for Agile Teams

24. Running FIT with Team Foundation Build

THIS CHAPTER IS concerned with running Framework for Integrated Test (FIT) customer tests in your project test and integration environment (Build Lab) as part of a Team Foundation Build (TFB). It explains how you can wrap such tests in the generic test types provided by Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) and then execute them automatically from MSTest as Build Validation Tests (BVTs). In this way, you can run all your customer tests whenever you perform a Team Build. The chapter then walks through the development of a customer test from its inception on a whiteboard to its successful execution in a Team Build, before concluding with a list of ten test design tips.
