Tag: Tfs Automation Platform

The TFS Automation Platform is a project that will be developed initially as the TFS Iteration Automation project for the Rangers, but which has a grander vision to solve a need for customers to have things just happen within TFS.

Currently, the scope of this project is to create automations that assist with iteration management, but my eventual goal for this project is to enable a wide variety of automation solutions. This platform enables the development of three major classifications of automations: automations that can be called on a schedule; automations that can respond to an event in TFS; automations that can be called on demand.

We would really like for you to still be able to build out automations without the Automation Platform, but you would not have the delivery and management aspects. Hopefully this post […]

How might we implement the Change Iteration Automation for the Tfs Automation Platform

As we get organised to start development on the Tfs Automation Platform there is the need to do in-depth investigations into the way things are going to work. “Epic 1: As Dave or Gary I want WIQL queries to be automatically updated when I move from iteration to iteration+1 or sprint to sprint+1” Updates (in […]

What about hosting the Tfs Automation Platform

I have been asked what would be the process or support for hosting the Tfs Automation Platform either from a hosting provider, or in the cloud if we have server side components. If you are not familiar with TFS on Azure make sure you read: Update on TFS on Azure from Brian Harry “To the […]
