  • 2005
  • 2008
• Duplicates Finder for Visual Studio 2003, 2005 and 2008 projects (C# up to version 2.0 and Visual Basic .NET up to version 8.0)
• FxCop build runner

You can select the Command Line runner and use any script to build your projects.

We have implemented a Rake runner for Ruby/Ruby on Rails projects which also supports RSpec tests.

Testing Frameworks

TeamCity integrates with JUnit, TestNG and NUnit testing frameworks ensuring the most effective testing of your software.

.NET Testing Framework Support

• NUnit 2.2, 2.4, 2.5.0 alpha 4 support
• Ability to specify the mode (x86 or x64) to run the NUnit tests
• NUnit tests categories support for NAnt, MSBuild, and NUnit Launcher
• MSTest integration

Version Control Systems

TeamCity supports industry-wide version control systems including:

• Subversion
• Perforce
• CVS
• Borland StarTeam
• Microsoft Visual SourceSafe
• Team Foundation Server 2005
• Team Foundation Server 2008
• IBM Rational ClearCase (Base and UCM)
• StarTeam support
• Mercurial support (available as separate download)

E-mail

If you are more accustomed to receiving e-mail notifications, you can receive notifications via e-mail. TeamCity provides you with e-mails containing extracts of build results in the message subject and clickable links in the message body to access more information on TeamCity's Build Results page.

Jabber/XMPP

You can get notifications via the IDEtalk plugin in IntelliJ IDEA or a stand-alone Jabber client.

RSS

You can stay on top of things with build status reports via syndication feeds. You can specify the content of your personalized RSS feed by selecting from a wide range of settings and subscribe to itusing an external application. The feed entries contain a summary of the build results and links to the build changes and the build log.

IDE

When working with IntelliJ IDEA you can opt to receive notification popups when different events occur, such as a build's failure or responsibility changes, or when the first error has occurred in a build.

In Eclipse you are now notified when your personal builds are finished.

Windows System Tray

If you work in the Windows environment, you might want to be notified on the status of selected projects via the Windows Tray Notifier.

As the status of the builds you have selected to monitor changes, the icon in your system tray changes correspondingly. With just one click you can access the Quick View window and get the picture of the projects you are monitoring. Clickable links navigate to the TeamCity's web interface.

Personal Builds

To test how successful your changes are you can create personal builds in TeamCity using the Remote Run feature. The modified files are submitted to the server bypassing the VCS. TeamCity obtains the latest source files from the project code base, creates a build and reports on the results.

Pre-tested Commit

Using the "pre-tested" commit feature the project code base always stays clean. The developer's code modifications get integrated into the latest version of source files in the VCS, and the tests are run remotely:

• If the tests fail, the code is not integrated, the developer can safely work on a fix, and the team's work is not interrupted
• If the build is successful, the changes are committed to the VCS automatically.

Open in Tests, Stacktraces, and Files in the IDE

In several clicks from TeamCity's web UI you can navigate to:

• the code that failed unit tests in your IDE
• the files in your project base

IntelliJ IDEA Integration

Pre-tested commit to StarTeam and IBM Rational ClearCase (Base + UCM ) is now supported.

With TeamCity integration in IntelliJ IDEA you can:

• perform remote run and pre-tested commit to CVS, Perforce and Subversion,StarTeam, IBM Rational ClearCase (Base + UCM)
• run personal builds on the specified build agent,
• commit changes if no new tests have failed
• review code duplicates,
• analyze the results of remote code inspections,
• monitor the status of projects and build configurations and the status of changes committed to the project code base,
• view failed tests and build logs
• take responsibility for breaking the build
• apply quick-fixes to the results of remote code analysis: the problematic code can be highlighted in the editor and you can work with a complete report of the project inspection results in a toolwindow
• download and view only the new inspection results that appeared since the last build was created
• work with the results of server-side code duplicates search in the dedicated toolwindow
• access server-side code coverage information and visualize the portions of code covered by unit tests. When showing code coverage is enabled, the project view of the IDE shows the percentage of classes and lines covered by unit tests.

Eclipse Integration

For a quick overview of the TeamCity plugin for Eclipse, please see the Live demo

Pre-tested commit is supported for Subversion (with any integration Eclipse plugin) and for Perforce.

TeamCity integration with Eclipse provides multiple features:

• commit changes if no new tests have failed
• run personal builds on the specified build agent
  
• personal builds and pre-tested commit
• the projects status in the Watched Projects view
• explore changes introduced in the source code and comparing the local version with the latest version in the project repository
• navigate from build logs opened in Eclipse to files referenced in build log
• view failed tests of a particular build
• navigate to TeamCity's web interface
• Possibility to type a comment in the Take responsibility dialog in Eclipse plugin

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 Integration

For a quick overview of the TeamCity plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio, please see the Live demo

With TeamCity integration in Microsoft Visual Studio you can:

• perform remote run and pre-tested commit to MS Team Foundation Server and Subversion
• personal builds on the specified build agent
• commit changes if no new tests have failed
  
• view the real-time build logs in the IDE
• view failed tests of a particular build, including navigation to the results of failed tests from TeamCity's web interface to Visual Studio editor
