TFS 2010 – What’s New On The Build Explorer?

  • Article

The Queued Tab:

So, as you can see not much has changed on the Queued tab of the build explorer since VSTS 2008, but if you look close, there are a few changes.

1. There is a new filter you can apply - “Only show builds requested by me”. This filter will limit the results to only those builds you directly caused by checking in or manually queuing it. This is really helpful when there are lots of builds for your team project and you only care about yours.

2. There is a new column on the left. If you hover over it, you see it’s the “Reason” column. This shows you what caused the build to start. In the picture above, you can see two builds. The one with the icon was triggered by a checkin and the other was manually queued.

3. All columns except the image columns are sizeable. They start off adjusted to their data, but you can change that.

 

The Completed Tab:

Likewise on the Completed tab, not much has changed. In fact, it has the same changes as the Queued tab – a new filter, a new column, and sizeable columns. They work the same here as on the Queued tab.
