First build questions - Abandoning/Deleting builds
4.0.5 RTC
What happens when you Abandon a build that includes 6 work items? There is an abandoned build and they have since built twice more... 1) What should I do to abandoned builds? 2) What about the work items? 3) Is the code delivered to the next successful build? Or is the code "lost"? 4) Is there a best practice on deleting builds? (we will soon start pruning) 5) Is there a best practice on abandoning builds? thanks, the help states we can abandon builds, but not what happens to the work items and change sets... |

As far as I can tell, abandoning a build only stops the build process. You can delete the build result. Nothing bad happens to work items or changes. You abandon the build if you want to stop it e.g. during build script development, or if you need another build to happen instead.
No code gets delivered to any build, as long as you don't custom code something. A build works on a repository workspace of a user (personal build) and uses that configuration to load the SCM data or on a build user owned repository workspace. If so configured the build accepts new incoming changes from the stream. The work items are only related to builds by their links to the changes that go in. Nothing bad happens to them either. The next build request will be performed and pick up the change sets. Comments Hello,

The code is USED in builds. It does not MOVE to a build.
