In the past I have posted about the vNext TFS build tasks I have made available via my GitHub repo. Over the past few weeks I have been making an effort to repackage these as extensions in the new VSTS/TFS Marketplace, thus making them easier to consume in VSTS or using the new extensions support in TFS 2015.2

This it is an ongoing effort, but I pleased to announce the release of the first set of extension.

Generate Release Notes – generates a markdown release notes file based on work items associated with a build
Pester Test Runner – allows Pester based tests to be run in a build
StyleCop Runner – allows a StyleCop analysis to be made of files in a build
Typemock TMockRunner – used TMockrunner to wrapper MSTest, allowing Typemock test to be run on a private build agent

To try to avoid people going down the wrong path I intend to go back through my older blog posts on these tasks to update them to point at new resources.

Hope you find these tasks useful. If you find any log any issues on Github
