Metadata reference for Test Plans Analytics
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
The Analytics service collects all data for all Azure DevOps test activities. Azure Test Plans supports the definition and execution of planned and exploratory tests. And with Azure Pipelines, you can also execute automated tests with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) workflows.
If you're new to Azure DevOps testing, we recommend you review the following articles:
The metadata information provided in this article describes the entities, properties, and enumerated types supported for all Azure DevOps test activities.
Note
Descriptions of the entities, properties, and enumerated types supported by the Analytics data model are provided. This is an early draft. Please provide feedback on areas you would like to have more information. To query the data model, see Construct OData queries for Analytics.
Entity sets and entity types
To query Analytics for Test Plan data, use one or more of the entity types and entity sets described in the following table.
Note
Analytics for Azure DevOps testing is supported with v3.0-preview and v4.0-preview versions.
Analytics stores all test-related work items as work items. You can query and generate reports on this data using the work tracking entities described in Work tracking metadata reference for Azure Boards Analytics.
