After you set up the environment in Azure DevOps and linked Azure DevOps tests to Qualitia automated test cases, you can trigger the test case execution using build or release cycles.
Additionally, you can trigger the test case execution from the test plan section of Azure DevOps.
Before you execute Qualitia automated tests as your build or release cycles, ensure you have configured your build and release cycles accordingly. Also, for on-demand executions, you must prepare a Visual Studio test task under release cycle accordingly.
For more information on how to configure these tasks, refer to the Configuring Azure DevOps for Test Executions section.
Execute Qualitia Automated tests using Build Cycles
- Sign in to the Azure DevOps instance.
