DDCPX Aftermarket Solutions
Greetings. My name is Craig. I'm a developer on the DDCPX team at Microsoft. DDCPX stands for Developer Division Customer Platform Experience and is focused on increasing customer satisfaction of developer products throughout the product lifecycle. My primary role on this team, thus far, has been improving our engineering practices, with a key step being the use of the CoreXT build environment. CoreXT is a MS internal build environment that integrates a variety of tools (including PREFast, PREFix, PRESharp, FxCop, OACR, NUnit, and WiX) and features with NT build. Two significant improvements over Razzle (another internal build environment) are that CoreXT has built in support for multiple build types within the same build window and CoreXT provides multiple versions of VS compilers (and associated libraries) along with multiple versions of the .NET framework. Later posts will likely have some CoreXT discussion, coming primarily from my administration experiences.
