A while ago, we introduced the dotTrace plugin to TeamCity. It helps you prevent application performance regression by profiling integration tests on a TeamCity server. Now we're releasing the next version of this plugin that brings some significant improvements. Before we move on to the details, let's recall how the plugin is used for tracking performance in CI builds: Write an integration test that runs some performance-critical functionality in your application. In the plugin, set a performance threshold for this test, which is the execution time value in ms or value taken fr

Performance testing is growing more and more popular as one of the most effective methods for preventing application performance regression. Usually, by performance testing developers mean web application load testing, stress and spike testing, i.e. all types of tests that measure system behavior under particular loads. Nevertheless, performance testing is not only about loads. Tracking the execution time of critical application features (like rendering a scene in a game application, or filtering a large amount of data in an enterprise application) is also an important aspect of performance

The recording of our June 10th webinar with Maarten Balliauw, .NET Code Coverage for Continuous Integration using TeamCity and dotCover, is now available on JetBrains YouTube Channel and slides on slideshare. In this webinar we use dotCover to collect code coverage information while running tests in our CI process. We can see how we can configure code coverage and how we can use the TeamCity Visual Studio plugin to download the coverage snapshot generated on the build server and inspect it using dotCover on a developer machine. How much of our code is being covered by our unit tests? A

Join us Tuesday, June 10th, 14:00 – 15:00 GMT (10:00 AM – 11:00 PM EDT) for our free live webinar, .NET Code Coverage for Continuous Integration using TeamCity and dotCover, with Maarten Balliauw. How much of our code is being covered by our unit tests? Are there areas we are not testing? By capturing code coverage data during a test run, we can analyze which areas of our applications are well-tested and which ones require additional tests to be written. And where better to capture code coverage information than on our build server? In this webinar we will use dotCover to collect code covera

When working with TeamCity and Visual Studio, we can do a lot of things right from within our IDE. We can trigger a remote run, fetch dotCover code coverage information from the server, view changes and builds from a tool window, navigate to unit tests and a lot more. In this post, we’ll be looking at some of these features. But first things first: let’s install this nifty tool! Installing the plugin Every TeamCity installation ships with several tools for IDE integration (with our IntelliJ IDEA based tools as well as with Visual Studio). We can find the plugin on every TeamCity server under t

Did you know that you can run ReSharper Code Inspections on the server using TeamCity? In fact, we added support for this functionality in TeamCity just over a year ago but it seems that the feature is not widely known, specially by ReSharper users. The setup itself is extremely simple, and we’re going to walk through it, and additionally add some more goodies in the mix. Activating .NET Inspections in TeamCity Adding ReSharper inspections to the build process is merely adding the Build Step named Inspections (.NET). The only parameter required is the Visual Studio Solution file   If

  This summer we will be visiting two User Groups in Switzerland to talk about some of our tools among other things. The events are organized in collaboration with the local User Groups of Berne and Lucerne:   If you’d like to attend the event, I’d recommend you sign up as places are limited. Berne Date: Tuesday 3rd July – 6 to 9 pm Topics: ReSharper Tips’n’ Tricks Real World MVC Registration, Location and more info: User Group Web Site Lucerne Date: Wednesday 4th July - 6 to 8:30 pm Topics: ALM with JetBrains Tools (covering TeamCity, YouTrack et al.)

A few months ago, Scott Hanselman gave a session at TechEd US were he showed some new features we were working on for TeamCity, in order to provide first class support for NuGet. He later blogged about it here. Instead of delaying until the next release of TeamCity, this feature (like many), has been developed as a plug-in. Eugene, who has been working on it, announced the availability of a first build a few weeks ago. After some initial trials and changes, I decided to setup YouTrackSharp to automate the publishing of the NuGet package. It was surprisingly easy as you'll see. 1. Installing t

On the 5th May, in collaboration with our partners Pluralsight, we will be doing a webcast on Agile environments: - What exactly is an Agile environment - Best practices for setting up environments with TeamCity, YouTrack and an OSS stack This webcast is completely free and open to all. Please check out Pluralsight’s website for more information and registration information.

On Tuesday, 5th April 2011, I'll be giving a webinar (in Spanish) on how to setup an environment with TeamCity, YouTrack and your favorite OSS tools and frameworks. Things we'll see: TeamCity: Overview and benefits YouTrack: Mouseless Web Issue Tracking Introduction to Distributed Version Control Systems and benefits over Centralized Creating Continuous Integration Processes with TeamCity and OSS stacks Integration with Visual Studio and other IDE's The webinar will be roughly 2 hours and it will be mostly demo-centric. It is a completely free event. If you'd like to attend, plea

As some of you know, we recently shipped TeamCity 6 which includes, out of the box, a bundled version of dotCover. What this means is that you can now get free coverage for your code easily, and of course even if you're using the Professional version of TeamCity.  The setup is quite easy if you are using MSTest and NUnit. For MSpec, you need to take a few additional steps. Using MSTest / NUnit Runners Normally build files consist of a series of tasks that involve compilation and running of tests. With TeamCity, you can separate some of these steps out into individual TeamCity Build steps,
