You can run ReadyAPI functional tests as part of build and release processes in Azure DevOps Services (formely Visual Studio Team Services). This way you will be able to include your functional tests in your application lifecycle managed with Visual Studio testing tools.
Requirements
Use private agents to run ReadyAPI tests. Running tests on hosted agents is not supported.
The agent must be deployed on Windows computers. The extension cannot run tests by using agents deployed on macOS or Linux computers.
The agent must have ReadyAPI installed. For detailed information on how to install ReadyAPI, see Install Information.
You must have a ReadyAPI Test license.
You can use both the Fixed and Floating license to run functional tests. We recommend that you use the Floating license: activate the license on the license server in your network and configure ReadyAPI on your agent to connect to the server.
You must create a project in ReadyAPI and the agent must have access to it.
Typically, you store your project in a source control system (like Git or Team Foundation Version Control) and then configure your build to get the project from source control and place it in the needed folder on the computer where tests will run.
Usage
Add the ReadyAPI Test for Azure DevOps task to the needed phase of your definition and configure it:
In the Path to ReadyAPI Test Project text box, specify the path to your ReadyAPI project.
By default, the task runs test by using the most recent version of ReadyAPI installed on an agent. If you need to specify a particular version of TestRunner, specify fully-quialified path to the Path to TestRunner text box.
In the Root Folder text box, enter the fully-qualified name of the directory on the agent where ReadyAPI will store test reports. The default value is $(Common.TestResultsDirectory).
In the Test Suite text box, enter a test suite to run. To run all the test suites in the project, leave the field blank.
In the Test Case text box enter the test case to run. If you leave the field blank, the task will run all the test cases of the specified test suite, or, if you have not specified a test suite, all the test cases of your project.
In the Password text box enter the encryption password. It is required if your project is encrypted.
In the Environment text box enter the environment configuration that the task will use for the test run.
In the Test Suite Tags and Test Case Tags text boxes, specify the tags of the test suites and test cases you want to run.
