Yay! I thought it would be that easy, I just couldn't find it. I blame
Friday and the overly large bacon cheeseburger I ate for lunch.
Thanks Ryan!

Wes,

You can add a Run Another Workflow step to your build job that runs if
the build succeeds and start the test workflow. On the test workflow you
can do the same to run the deploy workflow.
