Run manual tests

Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019

Run your manual tests and record the test results for each test step using Microsoft Test Runner. You can run tests for both web applications and desktop apps.

Test Runner lets you run all active tests as a batch or specific test cases. Modify tests while running them. You can run tests for a specific build.

While testing, gather information like a screenshot or your testing actions. If you find an issue when testing, use Test Runner to create a bug. Include test steps, screenshots, and comments in the bug.

Note

You execute test points and not test cases. When you add a test case to a test suite, test point(s) are generated. A test point represents a unique combination of test case, test suite, configuration, and tester.

For example, a test case named Test login functionality, which has two configurations for the Edge and Chrome browsers, generates two test points. You can execute or run each of these test points. On execution, test results are generated. Through the test results view, or execution history, you can see all executions of a test point. The latest execution for the test point is what you see in the Execute tab.

Supported clients and run options

In addition to running tests for a specific build, run options support various test scenarios. To see the options, in the Execute tab, select a test, and then select Run with options.

Select test type and runner offers these options:

  • Manual tests using Web Browser based runner You can select a specific build to test, as described in Run tests for a build. Select Find builds to open the Find builds dialog box and search for a build to test against.

  • Manual tests using Test Runner client You can run manual tests for desktop applications by using the Test Runner client. If necessary, install the Test Runner desktop client.

  • Automated tests using release stage To run tests using a release stage, select a build. Select a release pipeline and stage to consume the build's artifacts. For more information, see Run automated tests from test plans.

  • Manual tests using Microsoft Test Manager 2017 client Collects data from a local machine. Select a build. Select one or more data collectors: Action log, Event log, Screen and voice recorder, and System information.

  • Manual tests using Microsoft Test Manager 2015 or earlier client

The Test Center in the Microsoft Test Manager client is a desktop-based manual testing solution. Testers can use it for manual testing needs. For more information, see Guidance on Microsoft Test Manager usage. To get Microsoft Test Manager, install Visual Studio Enterprise or Visual Studio Test Professional.

  • Installed Visual Studio 2017 Professional or earlier version. You access TCM from the command prompt and the following directories:

    • %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE
    • %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE
    • %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE
  • To run a TCM command, specify the /collection and /teamproject parameters, and /login as needed.

    Parameter Description
    /collection:CollectionURL Required. Specifies the URI of the team project collection. The format for the URI is as follows:
    - For Azure DevOps Services: http://dev.azure.com/OrganizationName
    - For Azure DevOps Server: http://ServerName:Port/VirtualDirectoryName/CollectionName. If no virtual directory is used, then the format for the URI is as follows:http://ServerName:Port/CollectionName.
    /teamproject:project Required. The name of the project that contains the test objects you want to clone or import automated tests into.
    /login:username,[password] Optional. Specifies the name and password of a valid Azure DevOps user and who has permissions to run the command. Use this option if your Windows credentials don't have the appropriate permissions, or you're using basic authentication, or you're not connected to a domain.
  • You must be a valid member of one or more projects that you want to access and have the required permissions based on the commands you run. For more information, see Manual test access and permissions.

  • You must have the same access levels required to add test plans and test suites to clone or import test objects.

Run tests for web apps

Follow these steps to run tests for web applications.

  1. From the web portal, open your project and select Test Plans > Test plans.

  2. If you haven't already, create your manual tests.

  3. Select Mine or All, or use Filter by title to find your test plan and select it. Select the Execute tab.

    Screenshot shows a test suite selected with the Execute tab selected

  4. Select one or more tests, or all the tests from a test suite. Then select Run for web application.

    Screenshot shows how to select and run a specific test.

    Microsoft Test Runner opens and runs in a new browser.

  5. Start the app that you want to test.

    Screenshot shows Test Runner recording your test results.

    Your app doesn't have to run on the same computer as Test Runner. You just use Test Runner to record which test steps pass or fail while you manually run a test.

    For example, you might run Test Runner on a desktop computer and run your store app for Windows 8 that you test on a Windows 8 tablet.

  6. Mark each test step as either passed or failed based on the expected results.

    Screenshot shows Test Runner open to a failed test where you can enter a comment.

    If a test step fails, you can enter a comment on why it failed or collect diagnostic data for the test. You can also Create or add to a bug.

  1. If you haven't already, create your manual tests.

  2. Select a test from a test suite and run it.

    Select and run a specific test

    Microsoft Test Runner opens and runs in a new browser.

  3. Start the app that you want to test. Your app doesn't have to run on the same computer as Test Runner.

  4. Mark each test step as either passed or failed based on the expected results. If a test step fails, you can enter a comment on why it failed or collect diagnostic data for the test. You can also Create or add to a bug.

    Mark test steps

Important

Any test step that has expected result is called a validation test step. Testers must mark a test step with a status if it is a validation test step. The overall result for a test case reflects the status of all the test steps that the tester marked. Therefore, the test case will have a status of failed if the tester marked any test step as failed or not marked.

Create or add to a bug

If a test step fails, enter a comment about the behavior and collect diagnostic data. You can create a bug to capture and track the issue. You can also update an existing bug with information about the failure.

  1. When a step fails, enter a comment and select Create bug.

    Screenshot shows Test Runner with a failed test and Create bug highlighted.

    Note

    If the create bug button does not launch bug workitem, then verify if the teams settings are correct at Area and Iteration level as below:
