Welcome
Welcome to the TFS Deployer project homepage, to see what this project is all about please refer to our project description.
Project Description
TFS Deployer was originally released by Readify on the 16th of December 2006. This CodePlex project exists to further its development beyond support for Team Foundation Server 2005 and address some of the shortcomings within the software.
By way of explaination, TFS Deployer interfaces the Team Foundation Server build store with PowerShell allowing script execution to be triggered across multiple machines when a user transitions the quality indicator of a build from one state to another.
TFS Deployer is installed like an agent piece of software on deployment targets and those targets listen for the event notifications from TFS. When received they contact TFS to determine whether they should take action, and if they should they download the scripts from the version control repository.
TFS Deployer integrates with PowerShell to provide scripters with access to the BuildData object from the TFS object model so that they can determine where to pull down build outputs from so that they can be automatically deployed in an enterprise environment.
