SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Establishing reliable baselines for MSBuild/.NET builds to measure and drive optimization, reducing wasted time due to unclear performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establish cold, warm, and no-op baselines to quantify build times.
  • Apply optimization strategies like MSBuild Server, static graph builds, and artifacts output, and validate improvements in CI/CD.
  • Use artifacts and dependency graph trimming to improve cacheability and parallelism in large solutions.

Quick Start

Run the baseline measurement on your solution to capture cold, warm, and no-op timings and then apply the optimization steps described in this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I establish a build performance baseline for MSBuild and .NET projects?▼

You establish an MSBuild performance baseline by measuring and quantifying build timings across cold, warm, and no-op scenarios. This identifies current performance metrics to validate future optimization strategies.

What are the best ways to optimize MSBuild build times in CI/CD?▼

You optimize MSBuild build times by enabling MSBuild Server, utilizing static graph builds, and configuring artifacts output. These strategies improve parallelism and cacheability to reduce CI/CD build durations.

How does static graph builds and dependency graph trimming improve .NET build performance?▼

Static graph builds and dependency graph trimming improve .NET build performance by reducing unnecessary project evaluations. This enhances parallelism and cacheability in large solutions, yielding faster overall build times.

When do I need to measure cold, warm, and no-op build scenarios?▼

You measure cold, warm, and no-op build scenarios when establishing a reliable performance baseline. This quantifies distinct build states to accurately validate optimization strategies like MSBuild Server.
