Check-in Policy

Check-in polices help you and your team ensure that certain activities like testing, code analysis and work item association are done each and every time source code is checked in. These policies help you to implement and communicate the way your team works in a non-intrusive manner. New team members are immediately productive because their development tool – Visual Studio Team System – reminds them when they haven’t satisfied a particular policy required by their new team.

Testing, code analysis and work items are the policies included with Team Foundation Server; and an intuitive .NET object model is provided to make it very easy to create custom check-in policies to suit your organization’s specific needs.
