Triggering Jenkins after TFS build

Question

I was wondering if it is possible for Jenkins to be notified after TFS finishes a build.

I\'m trying to make a system where, after the TFS build, Jenkins is used to run

You have a few options:

1. You could use a GenericTest to trigger Jenkins and include as part of the Build Definition. This also allows your script to communicate pass/fail information back to the build.

2. You could just include an InvokeProcess workflow activity to trigger Jenkins. The process would be similar to this or this.

3. Or you could use a tool that would trigger after a Team Build has finished. Normally people would use tools that then deploy stuff. Most of these tools trigger a Powershell script at some point, which would allow you to trigger the test run:

   • Octopus Deploy
   • TFS Deployer
