Test summary trend sample report
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 | Azure DevOps Server 2020
Pipelines that include test tasks can be queried to build a test summary trend report. For example, the following report displays the number of failed test runs in each column over a period of 24 days, along with the line chart showing the trend of test pass rate. For information on adding tests to a pipeline, see the Test task resources section later in this article.
Specifically, this article provides sample queries for generating the following reports:
- Test summary trend for build workflow
- Test summary trend for release workflow
- Test summary trend for a particular branch
- Test summary trend for a particular test file
- Test summary trend for a particular test owner.
Important
Power BI integration and access to the OData feed of the Analytics Service are generally available for Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server 2020 and later versions. The sample queries provided in this article are valid only against Azure DevOps Server 2020 and later versions, and depend on v3.0-preview or later version. We encourage you to use these queries and provide us feedback.
Prerequisites
- Access: Be a member of a project with at least Basic access.
- Permissions: By default, project members have permission to query Analytics and create views.
- For more information about other prerequisites regarding service and feature enablement and general data tracking activities, see Permissions and prerequisites to access Analytics.
Note
This article assumes you read Overview of Sample Reports using OData Queries and have a basic understanding of Power BI.
Sample queries
You can use the following queries of the TestRuns
entity set to create different but similar pipeline test summary trend reports. The TestRuns
entity set for the following queries are available only when you include test tasks within a pipeline definition.
Note
To determine available properties for filter or report purposes, see Metadata reference for Test Plans Analytics and Metadata reference for Azure Pipelines. You can filter your queries or return properties using any of the Property
values under an EntityType
or NavigationPropertyBinding Path
values available with an EntitySet
. Each EntitySet
corresponds to an EntityType
. For more information about the data type of each value, review the metadata provided for the corresponding EntityType

Substitution strings and query breakdown
Substitute the following strings with your values. Don't include brackets {} with your substitution. For example if your organization name is "Fabrikam", replace {organization}
with Fabrikam
, not {Fabrikam}
.
{organization}
- Your organization name{project}
- Your team project name{pipelinename}
- Your pipeline name. Example: Fabrikam hourly build pipeline{startdate}
The date to start your report. Format: YYYY-MM-DDZ. Example: 2023-01-01Z represents January 1, 2023 at 12:50:54. Don't enclose in quotes or brackets.
Query breakdown
The following table describes each part of the query.
Query part

Return test runs for the specified pipeline.
and CompletedOn/Date ge {startdate}
Return test runs on or after the specified date.
and Workflow eq 'Build'

workflow
)
Close filter()
clause
/groupby(
Start groupby()
clause.
(CompletedOn/Date),
Group by the date of completion of test run.

.
ResultPassCount with sum as ResultPassCount,
Count the total number of passed test runs as ResultPassCount
.
ResultNotExecutedCount with sum as ResultNotExecutedCount,
Count the total number of not executed test runs as ResultNotExecutedCount
.

.
)
Close compute()
clause.
(Optional) Rename query
You can rename the default query label, Query1, to something more meaningful. Simply enter a new name from the Query Settings pane.
Expand the CompletedOn column in Power BI
Expand the CompletedOn
column. Expanding the column flattens the record into specific fields. To learn how, see Transform Analytics data to generate Power BI reports, Expand columns.
Change column data type
From the Power Query Editor, select the PassRate
column; select Data Type from the Transform menu; and then choose Decimal Number.
For more information about changing the data type, see Transform Analytics data to generate Power BI reports, Transform a column data type.
Close the query and apply your changes
Once you've completed all your data transformations, choose Close & Apply from the Home menu to save the query and return to the Report tab in Power BI.
Create the line and stack column chart report
In Power BI, under Visualizations, choose the Line and stack column chart and drag and drop the fields onto the chart areas.
Add
CompletedOn.Date
to the X-axis, right-click the field and select Date.Date rather than Date Hierarchy.Add
ResultFailCount
to Column y-axis.Add
PassRate
to Line y-axis.
Your report should look similar to the following image.
