Custom Code Review Checkin Policy

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been doing a lot of VS / TFS 2012 demos, as well as installing / configuring / customizing TFS at customers. Everyone loves the Code Review Workflow, but inevitably the question gets asked, “Can I enforce code review on check-in”? Out of the box you can’t, but I created a custom policy for this.

Extending Hybrid Lab Workflow Virtual Hosts

In an earlier post I talked about my Hybrid Lab Workflow – this workflow allows you to do a Build-Deploy-Test workflow against a TFS 2012 Standard Environment, and as long as the environment is composed of VMs and you’re able to connect to the VM Host, then you can apply pre-deployment snapshots and take post-deployment snapshots. I also blogged about the “nastiness” of PsKill and PsExec for getting the Lab into a workable state after snapshots were applied. In this post I’ll talk about how you could use exactly the same workflow for another Virtual Host – say VMWare or something else.

I will be co-presenting with Ahmed Salijee at TechDays in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town (12, 16 and 19 Oct respectively). Check out the website for details on exact dates and venues – there is tons of new stuff to show off, so this is going to be a really exciting event!
