SPCAF has three types of installations that can be chosen from depending on your needs.

  • Typical
    • Installs the most common program features. Which is recommended for most users.
  • Custom
    • Allows the users to choose which program features installed. This option is recommend for advanced users. See "Selected Preferred Components" below for more details.
  • Complete
    • All program features will be installed. This option requires more disk space.

Select Preferred Components

If either Typical or Complete was selected in the previous stage you can skip this section, if Custom was selected you need to decide which components of SPCAF you want to install.

Note: Not all 3rd party analyzer integration is activated by default as some like SPDisposeCheck or JSHint are now obsolete because SPCAF has its own implementation of these rules.

The TFS Team Build integration works only with an SPCAF Quality Gate license or the trial key.
