  • Can you elaborate on "without using a build and deploy script or some form or automated deploy you lose integration environment settings" ? Commented Aug 26, 2011 at 4:39
  • @talonx - For example, if a developer requires a web.config setting added for a particular environment. web.config is generally not kept in svn and so these files are updated manually without any form of automated build script. So if they're lost or OPS forget to add a field to the web.config then you have issues. A build script that say uses XMLPoke to automatically generate a web.config appropriate for a particular environment is ideal in that you have a versionable script which documents all changes necessary for each of your environments.

  • Do they just need to checkout the sources or are there any manual steps after the checkout (compiling, packaging, configuration, ...) ? Commented Aug 26, 2011 at 9:19
