Automating The Build

I've been working an engagement recently with a company doing some large .NET and VB6 development. This company would like to automate its build and deployment processes to relieve pressure on the developers who presently do all of these steps manually.

I can strongly recommend Visual Build.

This tool makes it easy to do all of the little but very detailed steps that take place in a large build and deployment process.



It's got full integration with all of the Microsoft tools, such as Visual Studio.NET, Visual Studio 6.0, Visual Source Safe (yikes), and third-party tools like SourceGear Vault, etc.

Check it out.
