The azure-test-track extension provides functionalities for associating automated tests with Azure DevOps test cases. It offers two different commands for associating tests with Azure DevOps:

• Associate Test Case (Auto): Automatically associates the test case based on the test name extracted from the code.
• Associate Test Case (Custom): Manually associate the test case by entering the test name and ID.

Features:

• Automatically associates test cases with the related automation code.

• Supports associating test cases based on pre-defined automation test names.

• Allows users to manually associate tests by specifying the test case ID and name.

• Supports multiple test types: Unit, Component, API, and E2E.

• Provides a convenient way to integrate with Azure DevOps and track test cases.

• Automatically associates all automated tests with the Azure Test Cases for all file via comments.

• The extension provides clear visual indicators that show which Azure Test Cases are actually associated with the automated tests.

  Tip: You can use this extension to streamline your testing process in Azure DevOps, improving the traceability and automation of test management.

Requirements

This extension has the following requirements:

VS Code version: 1.95 or later. Azure DevOps Setup: Ensure you have the following environment variables set up for Azure DevOps:

• ADO_ORGANIZATION
• ADO_PROJECT
• ADO_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
• ADO_COMPANY_EMAIL

How to Use

To associate a test case manually, follow these steps:

Option 1

1. Select the test line: Click on the line where your test case is defined, which should start with test( or it(.

2. Right-click and select the command: Right-click the selected line and choose the Associate Test to Azure DevOps using Test Name option from the context menu to manually associate the test filling the Test Case ID and Test Case Type.

Option 2

1. Use the command palette: Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS), type Associate Test to Azure DevOps filling Test Name, and select the command to manually enter all necessary information for the association.

2. Fill in the details: A series of prompts will appear asking you to:

   • Enter the Test Case ID in Azure DevOps.
   • Provide the Test Case Name.
   • Choose the type of test (Unit, Component, or E2E).

After filling in all the details, the extension will associate the test case with the specified automation code.

Option 3

1. Insert the comments: In the test file, add the comments with the test IDs in the format ADO_IDs: TC_1234, TC_5678 above the test function.
2. Use the command palette: Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS), type Associate IDs from Comments, and select the Test Type for the associations.

After the command is executed, it will scan for all ADO_IDs and associates all ids with the automated test in Azure Test Case

Note: In your Azure Devops Test Case, the Associated Automation tab will be filled with all this informations and the Automation Status will be changed by Automated.

Visualization Option

1. In the test file, run the View/Hide All Associated Automated Tests command.
2. Look at your code. Lines of code associated with test cases will have a green indicator ✓ Associated, and unassociated lines will have a red indicator ✗ Unassociated.

Known Issues

• Currently, the extension only supports associating tests based on text patterns such as test(, it( or def test_ - if you see it works for javascript, typescript and python - for filling Test Case Name automatically but you can still use this extension and fill the name manually through command Associate Test to Azure DevOps filling Test Name
• There may be issues with environment variable configurations not being recognized when VS Code is run in certain environments.
