Hi Subramanyam,

Thank you for posting here.

What did you mean about “Execute” , “Test” and “Release”? And did you want to use Vnext Build? Please describe your problem in more detail.

In Vnext build, you could use Visual Studio Build task to build the solution. If you want to publish the files you could specify the MSbuild arguments: /p:DeployOnBuild=true;PublishProfile=Name in the build task. Then use the Visual Studio Test to run test.

Finally, if you want to deploy the project on IIS, you could use the task WinRM-IIS Web App Deployment task, to use this task, you need to install the extension first.

If you want to try to use the build-deploy-test workflow in Vnext build, you could refer to the following thread:
