Achieving throughput is going to require build automation to be as low friction as possible.

We Do Manual Builds / Deploy to Test
8 Hours * 4 Times Per Month * 4 People
= $76,800 Year
We Author Builds in XAML We Support our XAML Builds
40 Hours $2000 / App
20 Hours * 1 person * 12 months $12,000 / Year / Apphttps://flic.kr/p/fG2vpZ

Make Authoring and Support Easier
Lower “Barrier to Entry” to Automate1 2
Simplification in authoring of builds was a key design principle for build 2015.
Authoring

Visual Studio Not Required
There’s an “App” for that – Mentality.

Testing has been augmented to allow ci unit tests and lab type tests on build
Build Run Unit Tests
Build Run Unit Tests Deploy Run Functional Testing
Test Adapters Available for nUnit, xUnit
Build
Now you can build, test, and launch (deploy) easily.

Fast to Implement
“New” code is being tested for the first time.
Some auditing requirements would fail this.
Good for “getting started” and “smaller groups”
