Many dotTEST DTP Engine features require source code to be compiled into binaries. By default, dotTEST attempts to build solutions and projects prior to analyzing them.
Delegating the Build to MSBuild or Visual Studio
dotTEST DTP Engine delegates delegates the build to msbuild.exe by default when Visual Studio is not installed on the machine. If an appropriate version of Visual Studio is present, the build is performed by the devenv.exe /Build mechanism.
