3. Challenges in SP2010 dev projects
Many dependencies
Code, Features, timer jobs
Deployment is complex
No native support for WSP rollback
Challenging to unit test
Still not much traction in SharePoint world?

4. Challenges in *large* SP2010 dev projects
Tracking
Hard to keep track of deployments/fixes
Many developers = many deployments?
Inefficiency
Devs keeping environment up-to-date
Inconsistent builds (or buildmaster bottleneck)
Silly mistakes e.g.
Incorrect versions
Debug vs. Release mode
Testing of actual WSPs
Communication

5. Solution recipe Auto-compile of assemblies and build of WSPs
Correct versions in source control
Add a label in source control to help rollback
Auto incrementing assembly version number
Better tracking of deployments/fixes etc.
Deployment of WSPs to remote SharePoint 2010 environment
Test environment, not developer machine
UI testing
Build fails on UI test failure
Developer notifications

6. Solution ingredients Skills TFS Team Build workflow (.Net 4.0)
“Good enough” PowerShell
“Good enough” workflow (3.5 OK)
TFS Team Build workflow (.Net 4.0)
Specifies sequence of steps
PowerShell
Deploys WSPs, other deployment steps e.g. teardown/setup site
PowerShell remoting (preferred over PsExec)
Allows PS on SharePoint box to be called from build server
Invoke-Command -ComputerName “foo” { script }

7. Build definition Customize workflow Styles: What’s the trigger?
Manual, Scheduled (e.g. nightly), every check-in, Rolling builds etc.
Customize workflow
Mandatory for SharePoint builds
Several workflows OOB
DefaultProcessTemplate, LabProcessTemplate
“Rebuild everything”
Suits pre-live
“Build current sprint against production state”
Suits post-live

9. Coded UI tests – an introduction
Recorded on test agent desktop
Support: browser (inc. AJAX), Silverlight, WPF, forms apps
Generate code which can be modified (e.g. to pass data)
Point and click to add assertions
E.g. navigate to web part gallery, check web part present

11. Integrating coded UI tests into build
Call all test types from command line with MSTest.exe
Unit tests, Coded UI tests, Load tests, Etc.
Team Build ships with MSTest WF activity (wrapper)
Preferred – edit workflow to move test logic block to *after* WSP deployment
Ensure test assemblies are deployed (i.e. include in build)

12. Adding coded UI tests to the build

13. Collecting system/event log data
Why stop at UI testing?
Code analysis
Unit tests
SPDispose Check
Load tests
Video recordings
Collecting system/event log data

14. Best practices Start on day 0 of project
Retro-fitting can be expensive
Get fast feedback - have a lightweight/quick build run on check-in
Compile all projects/build WSPs
Suggestion - every SharePoint project should do this much
Increment assembly versions (FileVersion) with label generated by build
Leverage UI testing (with or without automated builds)

24. What you need - software
Automated builds = TFS 2010 (Team Build)
Server + 1 CAL free with nearly every MSDN level
Need CAL for every user who interacts
Components: Build Controller, Build Agent
Coded UI tests = Visual Studio 2010 Premium/Ultimate
Components: Test Controller, Test Agent

25. What you need - hardware Option 1 – the EASY button

What you need - hardware Option 1 – the EASY button
Disadvantages:
Risk to source control
Performance
SP TFS2010 = big resource reqs
Bottom line:
Don’t do this with prod source control!
