TfsBuildResultPublisher

In TFS it's possible to create "faked" builds, without actually running them. You can read about it in this blog post by Jason Prickett.

TfsBuildResultPublisher allows you to create a Fake build, and publish test results to both the build in TFS and also a test run into Microsoft Test Manager

Syntax/Usage:

TfsBuildResultPublisher.exe /collection:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/MyCollection 
                   /project:TeamProject 
                   /builddefinition:"Daily Build"
                   /buildnumber:"MyApplication_Daily_1.0"

-l, --platform=VALUE                   Platform of the build (to track test results against, AnyCPU)
-t, --target=VALUE                     Target of the build (shown on build report, default: default)
  --localpath=VALUE                    Local path of solution file. (default: Solutio                               n.sln)

  --buildlog=VALUE                     Location of build log file. (e.g. \\server\folder\build.log)
  --testResults=VALUE                  Test results file to publish (*.trx, requires MSTest installed)
  --create                             Should the build definition be created if it does not exist
  --trigger                            Instead of creating a manual build, we should trigger the build
