Orcas Feature - Continuous Build!!

Hey guys,

One of the most frequent feature requests made to the Team Foundation Server development team is for continuous build.

Continuous build can take many forms, but the general idea is to automatically kick off a team-wide build when a developer makes a check-in. Some development teams like to gather up a few check-ins before kicking off the build.

The idea is to try and catch changes that break the build as soon as possible.

The exciting news is that with the Orcas release of Team Foundation Server, there is a feature in the build called Triggers. These triggers enable you to determine when a build should be kicked off. One such trigger will start a build with each checkin; so we finally have Continuous Build!

I made a quick, casual video about the feature, check it out if you get the chance.
