Are there out-of-the-box TFS 2010 reports that shows the detailed build steps taken?
If there's none, Is it possible to create one?
When you click on the View Log link on the Build Explorer, you get a detailed log of the build process. You can also see the MSBuild log by clicking View Log File link under the Summary section.
TFS process templates comes also with out-of-the-box SSRS reports such as Build Success Over Time and Build Summary (Scrum) and Build Summary Report (Agile)

Anyone can help me with below error? It looks like it has something to do with different versions but I am not able to solve it. I followed different instructions like: Installing the NuGet package for the WinForms than adding the dll via .NET Framework components.
When I drag and drop the ReportViewer onto a Form it gives me the below error.
This is what I did and it worked well for me:
1- Installed Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio
2- Opened Visual Studio and created a new project using Visual Basic > Report Application template. (You can also search for it using top right search box)
3- From the warning dialog clicked Trust
4- Cancelled Report Wizard (I just didn't want to create report initially, you can create.)
5- Rebuild the solution.
You are all set. You can add a new Report and design it in VS and show it in ReportViewer. If you open Form1 you can see a ReportViewer there.
To add it to toolbox, you can click on Choose Items and then Browse your solution directory and from the NuGet package folders go to report viewer package folder and select Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll.
For more information on how to add report viewer control to a form see Integrating Reporting Services Using ReportViewer Controls - Get Started.
We have TFS2015 and I am trialling Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 (no installation disk).
I am now looking for an ISO with Microsoft Test Agents for Visual Studio 2015.
Documentation for VS 2015 states that these ISOs should be available:
I can get the web installer (exe) for the Agents from here, but where can I get the ISO?
Please note: I need the ISO to get hold of Test Controller 2015 to run Load Tests, so just having the Agents is not enough.
Also, I have tried using Test Agents 2015 with Test Controller 2013, and my Agent configuration fails with a time out (whilst attempting to restart the service).
And finally, I have tried using Test Agents 2013 with TFS2015, which fails with a "Registry lookup failed" error on the "Agent Deployment" build step in our build definition (the powershell scripts used in this step assume that there is a path for an installed Test Agent 2015 in your registry). This problem is fixed by providing a path to Test Agent 2015 installer in "Test Agent Location" property of that build step.
So, I am now trying to locate the ISO with Test Agents for Visual Studio 2015 - does anybody know where I can get it from, please?
It was announced that Test Agent 2015 no longer needed a Test Controller, as the agent orchestration now is managed by the server (TFS or VSTS). You can also refer this post.
Q: Will the Test Agent 2015 support all the scenarios supported by
Test Controller and Test Agent of Visual Studio 2013?
A: We recommend you use Agents for Visual Studio 2015 in all the new automated testing scenarios. You can use the Deploy Test Agents task in a build definition to download and install the test agents on your machine. The following table shows the scenarios supported by Agents for Visual Studio 2013 and the alternatives for Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2015 and Team Services (TS).
For your situation, seems you are using on-premises Load Test , you need to use Test Controller/Test Agentes2013 Update5 . More information, please refer Using a Test Controller and Test Agents in a Load Test
As for ISO files, it seems agent for VS2013
are using the .iso including test agents and test controls in download center. But for agent for Vs2015 are just using .exe in download center.
Yes, of course, go to the page below:
https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/older-downloads/
at the scroll down the page you will see VS2015, after clicking download you will need to sign in,
then could choose the corresponding version you want to download:
do remember to sign in to Microsoft for downloading agents.

We use TFS 2015 vNext as our build system. However we use dotCover from JetBrains as our code coverage tool. The reason we don't use the built-in TFS code coverage tool is that this requires an Enterprise licence and we only have Professional licences (and upgrading is not an option).
Is it possible to display code coverage from a different code coverage tool to be displayed on the build results page in TFS 2015 (as in the screen shot below)?
Possible duplicate with this question Display OpenCover results in TFS 2015 build Summary .Your requirement could be achieved after TFS2015 update2.
If you want to display your custom result in the build result summary,
seems you will have to write your own extensions. Help link:
Overview of extensions for Visual Studio Team Services
Base for this were a lot of examples provided by MS on github:
Visual Studio Team Services Tasks
Visual Studio Team Services Sample Extensions
To get a first feeling what places on your TFS Web Portal can be
extended/customized you can download and install this extension

I have published from the metadata editor. I am trying to publish from Report Designer. It is allowing me to publish, but once the website opens it says that the report validation failed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same issue when I used different versions of Pentaho. Try matching the same versions for Pentaho Report Designer and Pentaho BA Server.
Our final build server does not have Visual Studio 2010 installed. It uses the MSBuild.exe from the .NET 4 SDK. As part of our code delivery process to our customer we need to allow him to build the projects from the command line on a Visual Studio 'agnostic' server and also to run Code Analysis rules on that machine.
On the visual studio side we started out with AllRules.rules and created exceptions going foreward so naturally we'd like the exceptions to carry over to the code analysis on the build server.
Is this possible ?
Thanks in advance.
Using standalone FxCop you can customize your CI process as you wish. Open this link and go to "Setting up continuous FxCop code analysis" chapter.
