Build Framework

Build Framework (Proof-of-Concept)

Overview

A generic framework for projects (i.e. C#, PHP, etc.) to be able to get the latest build framework, update dependencies, and compile code at its core. The ability to interact with the test framework from command line would be helpful for backend services - setup, execute, and tear down automated tests.

Basic Framework Commands

Command	Description
GetBuildFramework	Update this set of build scripts
UpdateDependencies	Update 2nd-party and 3rd-Party utilities into the /tools folder
CompileCode	Compile the project(s). This requires UpdateDependencies to be ran first (if not already)
SetupAT	Setup automated tests. Create the test database, create DDL, apply DML.
TeardownAT	Tear down the automated tests and clear folders. Delete the test database from the system.

Advanced Commands

Create Software Development Kit

Create SDK will package up your Compiled Code into a ZIP file which is later consumed by other projects in their respective, "/lib/2nd_Party//" folder.

Command	Description
CreateSDK	Create a package library and copy artifacts onto your server. This will later be consumed by UpdateDepenencies

Outputs:

• <ProjName>.ZIP
• sdk_version.txt
• Copies to, "$(ArtifactsDir)\Build $(AppVersion)\SDK"

Automated Testing

The following targets are used to kick off and tear down your automated testing environments

Command	Description
SetupAT
SetupAutomatedTests
ExecuteAT
ExecuteATCI

Installer

The following targets will create an installer package for you.

NOTE: You must have NSIS, WIX, or Inno installer installed on your machine. The example below is coded for NSIS, so the command names may need updated.

Command	Description
CreateInstallers	Create installer executables (i.e. exe, msi, deb, rpm, etc.)
CreateCD	Generate an .iso image (if applicable)
CompileNsi	Compile the NSIS script
UpdateNsiFile	Update NSIS script's Copyright and version info, etc.
