Test plan

This section will explain how to add steps in the test plan. The purpose of this is that anybody can be able to understand what is the test do.

What is the test plan?

In DevOps Test Plans for Azure, we develop and use the test plans for automated and manual testing. Include the development, quality assurance, and business analysis team to attach test cases. We can run tests on all the requirements created by each team. Different teams and their views contribute to the testing workflow, adding to the capability of testers.

General steps

• First, open the test project, update the project with the last version (git pull) to ensure that we have the last changes and then, run the all-test methods. If something is wrong, we have to fix it or talk with the team members asking if a change caused a regression if one change did a regression.

• Second, we are going to add the steps in one of the test methods that doesn’t have or in a new test method. In this point we have to go into the test plan and add a new test case, we can do it through this button:

Figure 9: Add new test case

If we don’t have the option as shown in figure 9, we just have to click on New work item, choose it and pin it. Then a dialog box like the following will appear:

Figure 10: Test case dialog

We need to add a title related to the test method in our respectively project, then add the tags, if it is necessary (this is important because queries use these tags to put every single test case in one specific folder). Ask for DevOps or SDET members If we do not have knowledge about the tags, area and iteration. After that, we put the state in Ready, click on Save & Close button and move on into the area path that the test case was saved. We will see other test cases like this:

Figure 11: Test cases in the Test Plan

• Third, click on our test case and a dialog will appear like this:

Figure 12: Test case dialog

​In this case, the dialog has all information related to the test method. Now, we must add all steps that the test method does. We click on this option:

Figure 13: Maximize steps button

• Finally, we will see the steps section and we can add all steps related to the test method, like this:

• To associate a test method with a test case we just need to copy the id in the test case which is the following:

Figure 15: Id test case

We press right click in our specific method, then click on Associate to Test Case as follows:

​Last but not least, we copy the id (as we saw in figure 15) in the input as follows:
