In order to get started with the Azure DevOps Integration, you need to first set the environment. This section depicts information related to all the prerequisites and procedures to get prepared for Qualitia's integration to Azure DevOps.

This section describes how Azure DevOps interacts with QAS components to execute QAS test cases successfully.

Qualitia has the following three components:

Qualitia Server
Qualitia Client
Qualitia Remote Agent

Whereas Azure DevOps provides the following two components:

Azure DevOps as the Cloud Version
Azure DevOps Agent

The whole integration process of Qualitia Automation Studio with Azure DevOps is divided into 3 steps:

Association between Qualitia Automation Studio and Azure DevOps (initiated from Qualitia Automation Studio)

Associate Qualitia Automation project with Azure DevOps Project
Associate Qualitia Automated test cases with Azure DevOps manual test cases

Execution of associated Qualitia Automation tests from Azure DevOps (One-time setup on Azure DevOps side)
Execution involves following one time setup activities to be done
Setup build/release pipeline for execution associated Qualitia test cases
- Get Assembly Task is used for Qualitia Custom tasks for pipeline installation
Setup Azure DevOps agent

Setup agent pool with agents setup for Qualitia executions

Result Publish of the Qualitia Automation tests

Publish results to test cases against the test runs (for each pipeline execution)
Publish test case results to Qualitia Automation Studio

The following table explains how different components of Azure DevOps and Qualitia interact with each other.

Component	Roles Played in Different Stages
Azure DevOps	Association Responds to Qualitia server using standard out of box APIs offered by Azure DevOps Execution Configuration of build/release pipelines Agent pool configurations Initiate pipeline execution Result Publish Host results of pipeline execution
Azure DevOps Agent	Association None Execution Executes of the jobs in the pipeline and the contained tasks Executes Visual Studio Test Task used for test execution Filters Automated test cases in Azure DevOps projects matching search criteria Invokes the Qualitia Remote Agent for executing Qualitia Test Cases Result Publish Execution of the Publish Result task of Qualitia to publish results to Qualitia Server and Azure DevOps Test Runs. Uses Qualitia Server APIs to publish result
Qualitia Remote Agent	Association Interacts with the Azure DevOps server to update Automation Status of Azure DevOps test cases. Saves the published versions of Qualitia test cases Execution Sends the published test cases to Qualitia Remote Agent. Result Publish Receives test case results directly from the Qualitia Client with the help of Qualitia APIs. Note: Both Azure DevOps Agent and Qualitia Remote Agent must be installed on the machine.
Qualitia Server	Association Interacts with the Azure DevOps server to update Automation Status of Azure DevOps test cases. Saves the published versions of Qualitia test cases Execution Sends the published test cases to Qualitia Remote Agent. Result Publish Receives test case results directly from the Qualitia Client with the help of Qualitia APIs.
Qualitia Client	Association Allows the authorized users to view Azure DevOps projects and associate projects and test cases. Execution Publishes the test case to Qualitia server. The published test case is used in the Azure DevOps pipeline execution. Result Publish Shows the status of Test cases executed through Azure DevOps pipeline in Real Time Reporting Portal.
