Introduction

If you are using Test Panel to automate testing, and Azure Dev Ops to capture and monitor tests, you now have two systems storing test data which need to be linked together.

Link Azure Dev Ops to Test Panel

Within Azure Dev Ops, each test case is given a unique identification number. By adding this number to each Test in Test Panel, when it comes to running the test, you can quickly find it in the test dashboard by entering the number. Please see the guide below for adding this link.

Prefix the name of the test with the ID Number from Azure Dev Ops
Save the change. enter a commit message, and click Ok.
Go back to the Dashboard now
Under run test cases, enter the ID number for Azure Dev Ops. You can know quickly search for the User Story of interest in Azure Dev Ops, and see the tests associated with it.  Using the ID number from the tests, you can now quickly run the tests to validate the user story is working as expected.

Linking Test Panel to Azure Dev Ops

Within Test Panel, there is a description field, where a hyper link to the User Story and Test Case can be added, when viewing the Test Panel Config in the Built As guide, this will provide a link back to the relevant sections in Azure Dev Ops.
