Re: [proteowizard-developer] Automated deployment testing

[Brendan M. <bre...@pr...>]

Hi Matt,
A laudable goal!  Wow, automated testing of installation on a pristine VM.
Sounds very cool.  Unfortunately, I can't really offer guidance, but I
certainly offer encouragement.  I have tried to continue some manual testing
of Skyline's ClickOnce installation when I update it, but I am afraid I am
not that thorough, and using automation and CI would be a way more reliable
way to guarantee installation doesn't get broken.

Interested to hear how it goes.
