For the VSTS builds, it's been a couple of years since I've used VS, and that was Win32 api programming and cgis with C++, some C. There is a wrapper for Watir scripts that I briefly looked at, gives you the ability to run Watir tests through Nant, so you should be able to get more of a continuous integration environment:

It looks pretty slick, worth investigating if you're using VSTS.

It's an app that lets an admin manage SSL certs. Depending on the
server, the certificate authority used the time for the cert to
complete all of it's status codes in our product can range from as
little as 15 minutes, to 24 hours. There's also a feature where you
can have a user need to approval the installation of the generated
cert onto the server (ie. one admin can generate the cert, but some
other server admin has final say if the cert gets put on his server.).
The specific part I'm working on right now is this approval process.
Since the cert can potentially take 24 hours to reach the approval
stage, I'd rather not loop. Instead, I'll notify the tester (usually
myself) that the script is done, at which point I'll know to keep an
eye on the error logs to see if the cert is just being slow, or if
it's failing.

Sadly my company is using Visual Studio Team Server, and I haven't
found a way to easily kick off Watir test scripts when VSTS finnishes
a build, and no easy way to get the results back into VSTS.
Supposedly it's possible by integrating it with NUnit or something
like that, but I haven't taken the time to work out exactly how that
would work.
Even without the VSTS integration, Watir was the absolute best testing
program I found though. It was the only one I tried that would
accurately trigger the _javascript_ events on all the links, checkboxes,
drop downs, etc.
Hope that makes some sense,
