Free Continuous Integration tool for Team Foundation Server

Notion Solutions Announces Continuous Integration Tool

"IRVING, TX — August 25, 2006 — Notion Solutions, Inc., a consulting firm that specializes in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System and Microsoft Team Foundation Server training and consulting, has made available for free their Team Foundation Server Continuous Integration Solution at TeamSystemRocks.com. “TeamCI”, which is the name of their product, is meant to help teams easily automate their software builds by providing an interface where users can configure the behavior of their “Team Builds”.

Because “Team Build”, Team Foundation Server’s Build Server, does not include any out-of-the-box mechanism to automatically start a build when a user checks files into the Source Control System, users have to manually start those builds on a regular basis. TeamCI makes this cumbersome task as easy as it can be, with a user interface that helps users quickly configure which builds execute and enables them to execute builds based on the path in the Source Control repository to which files are being checked in. What that means is that it is “smart” enough to sequentially launch one or more Team Builds based on the location of the file(s) being checked-in.

Sounds pretty cool...

When I get back into TFS mode, I'm going to have to check this out.
