You are talking ideal?

Then I want some general performance benchmarks run on the Dev environment for the projects/components I am a part of as well.

Get the latest source

Build the components

Build and run the unit tests, along with NCover to get a complete coverage report.

FXCop & Simian (and soon Code Complexity) are also done.

Build the deployment mechanism (MSIs, usually)

Package final product to an ISO

Deployment is another process, usually done daily during QA Cycles. We have setup an automated process to take a machine name which creates and configures a Virtual Machine, mounts the ISO and starts the installer. This is done on demand; whenever QA wants a fresh build.

We are working with Selenium to work in the final regression bits and pieces now. That will most likely happend on the Virtual Machine environment, during the QA process.

I'll definitely makes sure code coverage and rule checks (fxcop and whatnot) get added to my ideal list. For code coverage, it would be great to have seperate reports for unit tests and functional tests, possibly with a "combined" report.

I also forgot code signing, which should part of the process as well.

For products shipped via CD, an ISO package sounds great.

Virtual PC and I think Virtual Server are automatable. theCoach has a good point: it would be possible to create and deploy to a VM, run the tests there, and not worry about seperate hardware for an environment. This idea has floated around among a few developers I've talked to, but I have yet to see a good sample of someone scripting a VPC deployment (of course, I have not looked that hard).

Great comments. Keep 'em coming.
