Running and Monitoring Builds (Team Explorer Everywhere)
When you use Team Foundation Build to run your builds, you can manually start any defined build. Also, you can monitor the progress of builds in several ways to determine whether they completed successfully or to know when they are ready to use.
For information about how to schedule a build to start automatically instead of manually, see Creating a Build Definition for Team Foundation Server 2010 (Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010) and Specify the Build Trigger (Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server).
