Creating web performance tests in Visual Studio for SharePoint on premise is easy and well documented. But writing them for Office 365 / SharePoint online is another thing.

I stopped the work on my DSC modules for SharePoint (xSharePointAdministration) some time ago because the PowerShell team was working on the xSharePoint module. The module has now reached Version 1.0 and was renamed to SharePointDSC. The module is already pretty mayor and can be used to deploy SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016. It supports PowerShell 4.0 and 5.0. I already started using it in some customer projects. It’s not yet perfect – but what the PowerShell team does is really “Open Development” and not just “Open source”. I contributed the xSPFarmSolution resource, the version parameter for the xFeature resource … Continue reading PowerShell DSC for SharePoint
SonarQube is a really great solution to monitor and track your technical debt over time. But wouldn’t it be great if the developer could already see in Visual Studio the impact that his commit will have to the sonar dashboard?

The extension depends on the latest version of the C# Plugin – so make sure that you have the latest version (5.2) installed. In Visual Studio install the extension in the “Extensions and Updated” dialog. This adds a new Tile ‘SonarQube’ … Continue reading Use SonarLint to work on your technical debt in Visual Studio

But a lot of things have changed and now it’s really easy to setup a new SonarQube instance in Azure and integrate it into you build process and in Visual Studio. I did it this week and it was really fast and straight forward. Setup a machine in Azure I wanted to have a machine for trainings and demos. That’s why I decided to use SQL Server 2014 on Windows 2012 R2. Like this I can turn the machine on and of easily. … Continue reading Setup SonarQube in Azure VM
Continuous Deployment of SharePoint Apps (a.k.a Add-Ins) is tricky. The app package is intended to be created for every environment because it must contain a client id and secret. There is also no simple way to automatically trust the app. … Continue reading How to deploy SharePoint Apps with VSTS Release Management
