Visual Studio Build statistics

I'm interested in how much time I am spending on building my projects every 开发者_Go百科day. Is there any existing tool which provides such statistics?

Thanks!

MSBuild (what VisualStudio uses to build) can provide you with this information. Include in your msbuild.exe call the PerformanceSummary switch:

msbuild.exe your.sln /clp:PerformanceSummary ...

That will give you something like this at the end of your build run log:

Project Performance Summary:
      374 ms  your.sln  1 calls

Target Performance Summary:
...
      109 ms  GetWinFXPath                               1 calls
      156 ms  EntityDeploy                               1 calls
      390 ms  Build                                      2 calls
...
Time Elapsed 00:00:00.43

If you want a file that contains only this information, rather than having it written to your console, you can use this switch (with logfile set to some path):

/logger:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile=perf.log;encoding=Unicode;performancesummary

There is build event, you can use them, you can also run a batch script before and after a build to echo time >> filename

and then render the file and get your stats.

(goto build events in the project property page)

If you were to use continuous integration tools like Cruise or Cruise.NET, these tools do a very good job of showing metrics like build times, average build times etc.
