Code Review policy for TFS 2012 - Custom Activity in an Agile Template

This post describes how to set up a custom Code Review policy in TFS 2012. It follows on from an excellent article by Jacob Maki which only required a few extra lines of code to get it working. I then extended it by adding an additional boolean variable parameter so that it could be enabled or disabled on the build process template - this would be useful if you wanted to configure code review policy on a per-branch basis.

So, what are we trying to achieve?
The goal here is to force developers to undergo Code Review before checking in code. TFS doesn't do this out of the box, but there are two ways of doing this:

1. Create a custom check-in policy. This is nice because it tells the user that they must perform a code-review before checking in - it stops the problem at source. However it requires a custom check-in policy which then must be distributed to all developers and it cannot be configured on a per-branch basis (unless you start coding in branch names in the code). Here is another example.

2. Alter the build process template so it checks the changesets for code that should have been reviewed. This can be done without distributing code to the developers and can be altered on a branch-by-branch basis, but it will highlight the problem after the code has been checked in and not before.

Option 1 can be simplified using TFS PowerTools for distributing the check-in policy, but for my needs, option 2 worked best. We wanted to enforce code reviews for the Main and Sprint branches, but not for Task branches.

Step one is to write a Custom Activity.

Note the referenced assemblies:








Build this and then check it in to the CustomAssemblies path defined for your build controller.
At this point you may wish to add other assemblies, such as those from the TFS Community Build Extensions.



Mine are here:
 

Now alter the build process template. I am using the MS Scrum 2.1 process template and (a copy of) the corresponding default build process template.

I built a simple project, added a reference to my new Custom Activity, other references and my build process template:


Add your new activity onto the Toolbox  using the Choose Items... context menu.


Find the If AssociateChangesetsAndWorkItems activity and then the child Associate Changesets and Work Items for non-Shelveset Builds. Add a GetTeamProjectCollection activity from the toolbox and then add the CodeReviewPolicy activity.


Edit the properties of the CodeReviewPolicy. You can consume variables that have been set up earlier. Some variables, such as the output of GetTeamProjectCollection, require references to additional assemblies, but these are shown in the screenshot for the Build
