Managing build operations

This recipe focuses on what happens when a build is triggered, and how to deal with some common issues. We will trigger a build and then monitor its progress.

Getting ready

We must have a fully functional build server and a build definition that will trigger on check-in. To reiterate the point we made at this start of this chapter, all changes must only be made on development machines, and never on the build server. Even though Visual Studio might be installed on the build server, it should never be used.
