Azure Test Plans - Sprint 276 Update

Features

Actual Result feature for manual testing is now generally available

The Actual Result feature for manual testing in Azure Test Plans is now generally available. We announced the public preview in April, and based on the positive feedback from the community and the feature's solid technical performance, we're now promoting it to general availability.

Actual Result was one of the most requested capabilities from the community. Actual Result lets you record precise, step-level outcomes for each test step using text and attachments. This feature improves traceability, audit readiness, and collaboration across teams. You can enable Actual Result as an optional or mandatory field at the test plan level, review captured results directly in the Test Run Hub, and access them programmatically through the Azure DevOps REST API.
