Hello,
I’m looking into “remote” SharePoint machine. What might be a choice? – azure, cloudshare? Anything else? Need only PSRemoting feature on it.
The idea behind is just to be able to run unit/integration tests. We do have our own PS based runner for VS unit tests which could be run within PSRemoting sessions, bring all the test on the remote VM, run them and provide a result. It helps to be able to develop some solutions (common reusable libraries) just with laptops/win7 and so on.
Any ideas/suggestions on that?
Ah, I used it for a while, but bills were tooooooooooooooo much to go on my own.
It has change recently, and a few mate have a good experience with it. Will ping them to share cost-related stuff, as this is really nice topic.
Also, TFS integration surely a good thing, I do love it!
My current stuff is related to codeplex projects or TFSOnline. But we tend to put opensource stuff directly to codeplex and.. it has, you know, quite limited feature regarding the build, CI and so on.
That’s why I consider something “manual”, as PS scripting to run unit/intergation test within PSemote session. So, the eal is just ab having SharePoint VM wit the direct connection which lead me to my question.
We could use Azure (we do have MSDN), however, it’s a case of having the time and need to change. Cloudshare fits the bill for us right now and we already have all our base-lined / staged test environments setup and ready to go. I’d need to redo all those, which’d be a pain…
Really interested to hear what peoples views on Azure for testing are.
Yea, I am looking into CloudShare VS addin right now. I used to use CloudShare at the very beginning, but… performance used to be quite doubtful, from the developer’s perspective. But it seems like they have done a great job so I decided to try them out again.
On the other hand, why wouldn’t you go w/ Azure? Don’t you have any benefits from the MSDN subscription? I mean I suppose you have MSDN subscription as MVP/ISV or may have 🙂
You could have issues with ports though : https://support.cloudshare.com/entries/21062727-TCP-ports
and looking at this PS remoting uses 5985 and 5986 http://blogs.technet.com/b/christwe/archive/2012/06/20/what-port-does-powershell-remoting-use.aspx
