OpenGauntlet

December 12, 2007

I like it when new tools for Team Foundation Server come into public view. OpenGuantlet is a tool from Leon Mayne which works with the version control system (shelvesets) and the build system to support manual and automated code review of check-ins before they get checked in.

It is an interesting approach to implementing something similar to Microsoft’s quality gates, although I suspect for Microsoft it is less about an automated process and more about a bunch of manual checks (i.e. is the documentation completed, is the code localised), but still, its good to have an interception point for some of those manual checks.
