If a Pre-Promotion Event fails, on-demand testing lets you manually verify whether tests
are now passing. A new automated execution runs when the promotion is attempted again. This is
most commonly used when a promotion is blocked by a failed quality gate and you need to re-trigger
testing after resolving the underlying issue.

User Permissions Needed
To run on-demand testing for pre-promotion events:
DevOps Testing Manager OR DevOps Center User OR DevOps Center Deployment
Manager
Before you begin, make sure that the test suites are assigned to the destination stage. See
Add Test Suites
to a Stage.
From the DevOps Center navigation menu, select the
DevOps Pipelines tab.
Locate the pipeline stage — such as Integration or Staging — that contains the work
items.
Trigger test execution based on your situation.
For a first run or manual run, click Run Test associated with
the promotion in the stage card.
After a failed pre-promotion event, click Test Results in the
action menu of the stage card. Click New Run.
Once the test run completes, review the results. If all quality gate criteria are met,
proceed with the promotion. If tests fail again, review the failure details and resolve the
issues before rerunning.
Note Each pipeline stage — Integration, Staging, and Production — can have different test suites
and quality gate rules assigned. Make sure that the correct suites are assigned to the target
stage before running tests manually. See Add Test Suites to a
Stage.
