TfsBuildResultPublisher

In TFS it's possible to create "faked" builds, without actually running them. You can read about it in this blog post by Jason Prickett.

TfsBuildResultPublisher allows you to create a Fake build, and publish test results to both the build in TFS and also a test run into Microsoft Test Manager

Syntax/Usage:

TfsBuildResultPublisher.exe /collection:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/MyCollection 
                   /project:TeamProject 
                   /builddefinition:"Daily Build"
                   /buildnumber:"MyApplication_Daily_1.0"

Options:
-c, --collection=VALUE         The collection
-p, --project=VALUE            The team project

-t, --target=VALUE             Target of the build (shown on build report, default: default)
  --localpath=VALUE            Local path of solution file. (default: Solutio                               n.sln)
