Overview of this book

Team Foundation Server (TFS) allows you to manage code repositories, build processes, test infrastructure, and deploy labs. TFS supports your team, enabling you to connect, collaborate, and deliver on time. Microsoft's approach to Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) provides a flexible and agile environment that adapts to the needs of your team, removes barriers between roles, and streamlines processes. The book introduces you to creating and setting up team projects for scrum teams. You'll explore various source control repositories, branching, and merging activities, along with a demonstration of how to embed quality into every code check-in. Then, you'll discover agile project planning and management tools. Later, emphasis is given to the testing and release management features of TFS which facilitate the automation of the release pipeline in order to create potentially shippable increments. By the end of the book, you'll have learned to extend and customize TFS plugins to incorporate them into other platforms and enable teams to manage the software lifecycle effectively.

Triggering Selenium Web Tests on a Selenium Test Grid using TFBuild


The cost of testing can significantly increase if your software needs to support multiple devices and browsers. The rise in client-side scripting frameworks and responsive design technologies enable each browser to offer a unique immersive user experience. With the matrix of devices and browsers rapidly increasing, it is virtually impossible to cover the matrix with manual testing. There are a number of commercial and open source tools available for assisting with the development of test automation. Selenium is possibly the most widely used open source solution. TFS works better together with open source tools. In this recipe, you'll learn how to execute Selenium Tests from TFBuild.

Getting ready

Scenario: The FabrikamGit Team has automated functional tests using Selenium. The Team now wants to validate the functionality by running the tests in Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. The FabrikamGit Team would like to trigger...
