OverOps Azure DevOps Extension
[ Pre-Release ]
Overview
This extension provides the OverOpsQualityReport task which can be used in the pipeline to generate a QualityReport.
This is report can be used to gage overall quality of the application and fail builds if certain quality gates are not
met.
Pipeline Setup
Before getting started familiarize yourslef with how to create Azure DevOps Pipelines
(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/?view=azure-devops).
Once the extension is installed you will have access to the OverOpsQualityReport you can use auto complete in the
pipeline editor or search for it in the task browser. Once selected you can view all of the valid parameters in the
user interface on the right-hand side. Overing over each exclamation mark (!) will give you more details on that
parameter.
Example:
Gathering Data
Before we can create a quality report the application or automated tests need to be run in a seperate task with the
OverOps agent attached. The OverOps agent is the entity that captures events and provides the necessary data to generate
the quality report. For more information on how to run and attach visit one of the following links:
Parameters
In the above pipeline you will see the parameters block. This is how you can parameterize the build so that users
override default behavior of the build. In this example we give them the ability to mark the build stable even if
quality gates to not pass. This may be useful to force a build pipeline for further investigation. Other parameters can
be created depending on how you want to manage the inputs.
Pipeline Setup
In the above pipeline you waill see the variables block. Because each pipeline is checked into source control and can
viewed by all maintainers and/or community (if open source) we want to protect certain variables. It is considered best
practice to leverage variable groups for things like the API Key & SID. Other variables can be created depending on
how you want to manage the inputs.
