Hi Nev Percy,
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Support.

The "No test results found" message in the Execution History does not necessarily indicate that the test results have been deleted.

This behavior can occur if:

The associated Test Point has changed due to updates to the Test Suite or Test Configuration.

The Test Case was moved, re-added, or its configuration was modified.

Test results were not successfully associated with the current Test Point.

Could you please verify the following?

Are the test runs still available under Test Plans > Runs?

Were there any recent changes to the Test Plan, Test Suite, or Test Configuration before the issue occurred?

Does the issue affect all Test Cases or only specific ones?

If the Test Runs are still available but the Execution History continues to show "No test results found", please share the Test Case ID, Test Run ID (if available), and a screenshot of the issue in private message so we can investigate further.

Please "upvote" if the information helped you. This will help us and others in the community as well.

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A

Hello @Nev Percy I hope you are doing well.

If a Test Case shows "No test results found" in its execution history, it usually means that Azure DevOps can no longer associate any test results with that Test Case. This can happen for several reasons:

Test results have been deleted manually or removed as part of a retention policy.
The associated Test Run was deleted, which also removes the execution history linked to its Test Cases.
The Test Case was moved, cloned, or recreated, resulting in a new Work Item ID that is no longer associated with the original test results.
The test results belong to a different project or test plan, and you're viewing the Test Case in a different context.
Permissions may prevent you from viewing the underlying Test Runs or Test Results.

Recommended checks

Verify whether the corresponding Test Run still exists under Test Plans > Runs.
Check if any retention policies have been configured that automatically remove old test results.
Confirm that you're viewing the correct Project, Test Plan, and Test Suite.
Review the Audit Logs (if available) to determine whether any Test Runs or Test Results were recently deleted.
If the results disappeared unexpectedly without any administrative changes, check the Azure DevOps Service Health dashboard to rule out a service issue.
