  • More on "Continuous Integration in .NET"

    I’ve recently got the sales report from Manning about my book “Continuous Integration in .NET”. I’m very happy to report it sells quite well! And speaking about the book. My friend Mateusz Łoskot send me an excerpt from the ACCU discussion board discussing my book. Here it is: > Interesting you mention the Manning books on Dependency Injection and Continuous Integration… is there really a whole books-worth of stuff in each of those topics?? If you are in the .NET world then then ‘Continuous Integration in .NET’ is really worth the time invested. It covers most of commonly used tools (CC.NET, MSBuild & Team System, TeamCity). Goes over integration of…

  • Visual Studio 2010 Professional and Hudson / Jenkins CI and FxCop

      Visual Studio 2010 Premium and Ultimate do have the code analysis feature build in. What this feature does is static code analysis of your source code (or IL to be specific). Unfortunately the Professional edition lacks the build in integration (no Analysis tab in the project properties). Here is a way to easily integrate Visual Studio 2010 Professional with FxCop. FxCop is a standalone Code Analysis version that comes together with “Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 Version 7.1”. Actually if you download and install the SDK you will get the FxCop installer in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\FXCop. You will have to install it from there (yeah…

  • Continuous Integration in .NET – dead tree edition

    Finally it happened. I’ve just got my author copies of “Continuous Integration in .NET” the book I coauthored. I’m very, very happy because it was a long journey and finally it happened. My first book is out. I would like to thank all the people who helped at Manning and outside. I was considering writing a longer post about the process, the ups and the downs, but I decided not to. I might return to that thought later. In a mean time if you are considering coauthoring a book with someone you don’t know think twice. If you are considering writing something together with Craig Berntson and want to know…

  • Hudson Continuous Integration LED message board monitor

    Knowing the state of the build is one of the most important aspects of Continuous Integration. Team should get the information about the problems with he build as soon as possible. If the quality of source code degrades rendering the build to fail team, should jump in and fix the problem. The most popular group of tools that make the swift reaction possible are the tray notifiers. Small programs that reside somewhere in the corner of the screen and show one of the 3 states the build server is ever in: 1. Building 2. Failed 3. Yet another successful build! Oh, and well… not working (if the CI server is…

  • Selenium RC and FitNesse as a service on Windows Server 2008

    If you are working in a team or running a continuous integration process the most comfortable way to run tools like Selenum RC Server or FitNesse is to install them as a windows service. I was doing this earlier on my old Windows Server 2003 by issuing the  instsrv.exe (to install a service) on srvany.exe (to run anything) – both from Windows Resource Kit. I had to edit the registry to provide what exactly do I wanted to run (java –jar selenium-server.jar or java –jar fitnesse.jar). But there is no Windows Resource Kit for 2008. You might use the sc.exe and get the old srvany.exe (with compatibility issues according to…
