(8.4.X) Configuring the On Demand Test Runs

Using Azure DevOps, you can execute Qualitia automated tests in three different methods. Configuring the build and release pipelines help you to run Qualitia automated test cases as a part of build and release pipelines. 

Additionally, you can run Qualitia automated test cases on demand from the test run section. For executing Qualitia automated tests on-demand, you must first configure a visual studio task under release pipeline accordingly under the test run section. 

To Configure the On Demand Test Runs:

1. Log on to your Azure DevOps instance. 
2. From the top menu items, select Build and Release.
3. Under the Releases section, navigate to Tasks.
4. Add a Visual Studio Test Platform Installer.
5. Add a Get Assembly Task.
   For more information, refer to Configure Qualitia-Get Test Assembly Task.

6. (Optional) To execute test cases in parallel, click Execution> Parallelism, click the Multi-Agent button, and enter the number of Azure DevOps agents that you want to use, in Number of agents.
   

   Qualitia recommends not to configure more than 5 Azure DevOps agents on a system for parallel execution.

   Ensure that the number of Azure DevOps agents must be same and running on the system where you want to execute.

7. Add a new Visual Studio task and configure it as mentioned below:
   
   1. Enter the desired Display name.
   2. Under the Select test using section, select Test Run.
   3. Leave the Test Run and Search folder options with their default values.
