Microsoft Team Foundation Server and Continuous Integration

We're starting to actively use Microsoft Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team System for projects at work.

Having worked on projects in the past that made use of continuous integration (using things like CruiseControl.NET, NAnt, NUnit, FxCop etc.) and various hybrids of agile methodologies (I.T. is just riddled with buzzwords) I found that some of the tools/methods definitely made development a whole lot less painful, and also spared the QA team one or two sleepless nights.

There's a really good MSDN article "Extend Team Foundation Server To Enable Continuous Integration" on continuous integration in VS 2005 Team System if you're keen on trying it out in your dev team - http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/03/TeamSystem/default.aspx
