This task lets you run test suites against an application binary (.apk or .ipa file) using App Center Test.

Sign up with App Center first.
For details about using this task, see the App Center documentation article Using Azure DevOps for UI Testing.

Note

In Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2018 and previous versions, build and release pipelines are called definitions, runs are called builds, service connections are called service endpoints, stages are called environments, and jobs are called phases.
