.NET is a well-established programming language. It has hundreds of libraries across several platforms. And developers have used them for many years. Following are the key features of Build tools, Big Builds: A collection of tasks and targets for MSBuild that improve build performance in a number of ways. Code Analysis: Contains the MSBuild targets and tasks necessary to run code analysis on your projects outside of Visual Studio. Compute Clusters: Provides a set of MSBuild tasks that can be used to execute jobs across multiple machines in a compute cluster. FSM (Finite State Machine): A scalable, extensible state machine implementation for C Continuous integration and deployment is the practice of automating the build, test, and deployment of applications. Find the currated C# libraries to enable optimized build tools and process in your application. Full list of the best open source C# Build Tools libraries below.
