Tests and Test Suites
Tests and test suites are the building blocks of your software testing lifecycle. They ensure quality and reliability of your work items. With DevOps Testing, you can easily view and manage your tests and test suites across multiple test providers.
Required Editions
| Available in: Lightning Experience |
| Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Professional (API access required), Unlimited, and Developer Editions |
After you configure a test provider, its test and test suites are automatically synced with DevOps Testing. You can access them on the Tests and Test Suites tabs, respectively. Make sure your test assets remain up-to-date by syncing any changes made to tests or test suites in the test provider.
Throughout this guide, we use the term test suite execution groups. A test suite execution group is a collection of test suites run for a particular pipeline stage in the DevOps process.
- View Your Tests
View your tests in a single, unified summary. On the Tests tab, you can see the test details, including the type of test, severity, DevOps Center project, programming language, and the test provider from which it was synced. From the Tests tab, you can change the test severity and mark tests as essential. All other test changes must be made within the test provider. - Change the Test Severity Level
From the Tests tab, you can change the severity level of tests. Severity levels prioritize failing tests based on their potential impact. DevOps Testing evaluates the quality gate rules according to these severity levels. When creating a quality gate rule, you can set severity-level threshold criteria. If a test with a severity equal to or higher than the threshold fails, the quality gate rule also fails. - Mark a Test as Essential
From the Tests tab, you can mark tests as essential. When you mark a test as essential, the corresponding quality gate rule fails if the essential test fails. This helps to prioritize critical tests and make sure that essential tests are always validated. - View Your Test Suites
View your test suites in a single, unified summary. On the Test Suites tab, you can see the test suite details, including the last-run timestamp, status, DevOps Center project, environment, and the test provider from which it was synced. The Related tab on the test suite record page lists the tests included in the test suite. - Create a Test Suite
You can create new test suites directly from within DevOps Testing if your test provider supports it. After creating a new test suite, you can start a manual sync to make sure it's synced with your test provider.
