Process | Description |
|---|---|
Creating an Offline Package | Offline package creation is a one-time activity on your computer to execute offline suites. For detailed instructions on offline suite creation, refer to Creating an Offline Package. |
Configuring the Offline Package File | Specify in the Offline Package that the associated CI Tool is Azure DevOps. This is also a one-time activity. For detailed instructions on configuring the Offline Package file, refer to Configuring the Offline Package File. |
Creating an Offline Suite | Create a test suite that includes the test cases relevant to the pipeline. After a test suite is created, create an offline suite. For detailed instructions on offline suite creation, refer to Creating an Offline Suite. |
Mapping an Azure DevOps Pipeline with an Offline Suite | Create two tasks in the Azure DevOps pipeline and configure them to map with the Offline Package and the associated offline suite. For detailed instructions, refer to Mapping an Azure DevOps Pipeline with an Offline Suite. |

Limitations
Whenever any test case is updated or created, you must create the associated offline suites again and also map the associated pipelines with new offline suites.
You cannot have parallel executions of test cases.
QAS does not send the suite execution results to Azure DevOps.
