Agenda What does it really mean to be “Done” 10/17/2019 1:47 PM Agenda What does it really mean to be “Done” Going from “It Builds” to “Done” in < an hour Automated Builds Gated Checkins Automated Tests Test Lab Deployment © 2007 Microsoft Corporation.

An Unfortunately Common Scenario Achieving Done only at the End Dev writes code Dev makes sure his component compiles Dev checks in code Repeat x15 devs for 4 weeks Dev lead does a build of all components App is installed in test environment Test tries to test it App doesn’t work Dev blames test
Working in Cycles Different cycles have their own “Done” “Done” earlier is better than “Done” later Daily Build Testable Iteration Check In Story Product
The Tradeoffs Deferring “Done” has costs Low build quality during development Finding issues late Not knowing how much you really have left Achieving “Done” ASAP has costs Manual verification is expensive & error prone Automated verification requires huge investments – often hard to win support for Deferring “Done” is often the default choice
The “Done” Sweet Spot with VS Ultimate & TFS 2010 Automate “Done” Provides the infrastructure for you Focus on what’s unique for your app Adopt one step at a time Enforce “Done” for each cycle Check-in Policy Gated Check-in Continuous Integrations Know when you’re “Done” Test reports Project data reports Source Control Work Items Builds TFS Execute Tests Validate Layering Deploy Build
Our Scenario… What we have… What we don’t have… An app The App project builds in VS A fully configured VS Ultimate & TFS 2010 environment What we don’t have… Any things else (builds, tests, setup packages) What we are going to achieve in < an hour... Automated builds Validated Checkins Automated unit & acceptance tests Automated deployment & acceptance test verification Reporting of “Done” metrics
Step 1: Automated Build Automated builds are the pillar of “Done” No engineering improvement gives more back You build it all at the end, so why not build it all early VS & TFS makes automated builds simple Automated builds don’t have to be scary & complicated Any project that builds in VS can have an automated build in seconds Fully extensible Integrated Windows Workflow engine From a single build machine to a build lab executing a build across many machines

Step 2: Continuous Integration (CI) No more build breaks with Gated Checkin CI let’s you continually check for regressions Constantly run builds & assess your “Done” level Identify problems soon after they are introduced VS & TFS has built in support for CI No special work required You just need the build machine cycles Gated Checkin guarantees no more build breaks TFS runs a build before each check-in (synchronous CI) Never hear “It worked on my machine” again Guarantees no code ever gets in that doesn’t meet at least some “Done” criteria

Step 3: Automated Testing Automated tests lets you stay “Done” Don’t just get “Done”; stay “Done” Generally the more you can automate the better Cost of automation often means it doesn’t happen VS lowers the barrier & cost to test automation From unit tests to automated UI tests Test support was a key VS 2010 investment Integrate tests & build Ensure your tests pass as early as possible Get test status with every build

Step 4: Test Lab Deployment Being able to run the app is key to being “Done” It’s hard to know if you’re done if you can’t use the app Going from build to deployed app is often a barrier Doing it for every build is a major barrier 2010 includes virtualized lab management Automatically spin up / tear down of lab environments Manage machines as a group Network isolation Integrate builds and lab deployment Automatically deploy builds & run tests The app is then available for any kind of further testing

Backup
When is Software Done? When… the code is written (code complete)? the code builds? unit tests pass? acceptance tests pass? all of the code in the bugs are fixed? the customer says it’s done?
A Desirable Development Model Achieving Done Early & Maintaining it Dev writes code & unit tests Dev is only able to check in if his code builds & core tests pass Regular automated builds happen for the entire product Build is automatically deployed to test environment Acceptance tests validate product quality e2e
Step 5: Knowing your “Done” Know your “Done” state at any given time State of your builds Test results What user stories are complete How many bugs remain
