Hi I am using TFS and want do deploy two web applications after build to a test server. After the deployment I want to call a web page at one of the web applications to trigger some work like, delete all data and insert test data.
How can I accomplish this?
You can MS Deploy to deploy your applications to the test environments: http://www.ewaldhofman.nl/post/2010/04/12/Auto-deployment-of-my-web-application-with-Team-Build-2010-to-add-Interactive-Testing.aspx.
To call a web application, you can either create a codedui that you run as part of your testing, or you add an activity to your build template that calls the web site: http://www.ewaldhofman.nl/?tag=/build+2010+customization
You could have a look at TFSDeployer. If you are comfortable with Powershell, you can write a deployment script that does whatever you want, and TFSDeployer will execute it when it detects changes to the build quality (i.e. you set build quality to "deploy to test" for example and it will run the script to deploy to the test environment). There's more information on the site, and this is what I use almost always for deployments.
