Import work items from Azure DevOps

This integration allows work items to be retrieved from Azure DevOps. These work items can then be tested in Testersuite. Work items that you import appear as requirements in the Test cycle in Testersuite. The following work item types can be imported via the integration:

  • User Stories (In the case of an Azure DevOps Agile project)
  • Product Backlog Items (In the case of an Azure DevOps Scrum project)

To import Azure DevOps work items to Testersuite , three conditions must be met:

  1. Integration with Azure DevOps is in place
  2. There is a mapping in the integration settings for Requirement fields
  3. In the Test cycle details, an Azure DevOps project and Area Path was chosen.

Import Azure DevOps work items to Testersuite
When the above conditions are met, an Azure DevOps action button is displayed in the Test cycle detail screen that allows work items to be imported from Azure DevOps:

Click this button to import the open user stories / product backlog items from the linked Azure DevOps project and area path. A new product titled Azure DevOps User Stories / Azure DevOps Product Backlog Items is created in the Test cycle. Below the product are the imported Azure DevOps work items in the form of Testersuite requirements:

After importing, the created requirements contain a link to the original Azure DevOps work item.

A comment line is automatically created in the Azure DevOps work item, containing a link to the linked Testersuite :

From that moment on, changes in Azure DevOps (for the short and long description, status, and priority fields) are immediately implemented in Testersuite based onthe set mapping, Testersuite vice versa.

Decoupling a requirement from an Azure DevOps work item
In the following situations, a requirement is automatically decoupled from the Azure DevOpswork item:

  • The requirement is removed in Testersuite.
  • The work item in Azure DevOps is removed
  • The work item in Azure DevOps is moved to another project in Azure DevOps
  • The type of the work item in Azure DevOps is changed to a work item type other than "User story" or "Product Backlog Item."
