Pre-Requisites for Azure DevOps


Azure DevOps Version
  • Azure DevOps (Cloud Version)
  • Azure DevOps Server 2019
 Qualitia Plugins

Share Azure DevOps URL to Qualitia team to get the Get Assembly task plugin.

 Roles and Privileges
  • Azure DevOps Administrator must install the plugins from Shared Extensions.
  • Qualitia does not recommend this option for PAT generation as it changes the access levels for all the users in the group.

    Note: Please connect with your Azure DevOps Admin team to discuss the PAT generation and access level management.

    Qualitia integration with Azure DevOps expects that the user has “Update Work Items” access that is used to generate the PAT (Personal Access Token).

    The PAT with required access can be procured in one of the following ways:

    • Generate the PAT with a user that is part of the Project Administrators group.
      Qualitia recommends this option for generating a PAT.

    • Allow Bypass Rules on Work Items Updates
      Perform the following steps:

      • In Azure DevOps project, ensure that the user that is used to generate PAT is member Contributors group / Project Team members group.

      • Click Project Settings > Permissions.

      • Select the user group that has the user to whom you want to provide access (Contributors/Project Team members).

      • From the Bypass rules on work items updates list, select Allow.
        Refer to the following screenshot.



    • Have project access to create the following:
      • A new pipeline (Build/Release)
      • An Agent Pool
 Miscelleneous
 
  • Azure DevOps tests must be created under any test plan and suite to be mapped to the Qualitia test cases.
  • Tests without test plans and suites cannot be mapped to Qualitia tests. 

Add csc.exe path under Environment Variables on the machine where Qualitia server is installed.
(Restart machine after you add the path to see the effects)
