It sounds like a lot of the functionality _should_ already exist: for example I know it's not cross-platform, but MSBuild has various logging features, while I know Jenkins (unfortunately I've not worked with Azure yet) has lots of plugins for CI and running tests: at my work we have a relatively small python script that submits a "smoke" job to Jenkins and collects the results for pre-commit testing, while the same instance also checks for new changesets in the main repo and runs CI builds against them. -- Rebecca Cran -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
