View the Build Results Window
After the system has completed your build, you can double-click it in Build Explorer to view the results. Inside the report you can also take some actions; you can open the drop folder, rate the build quality, and even delete the build.
If the completed build did not succeed, errors shown in the build results window can provide you with information to resolve problems, and often you can click the error to view the file that contains the problem.
In a graph of recently run builds of the same build definition, for each build you can see how long it took to run and whether it succeeded or failed. You can also click a bar in the graph to display the results for that completed build.
Required Permissions
To perform this procedure, you must have the Team Foundation Server View Builds permission set to Allow. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.
