Progress status sample report

  • Artikkel

Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 | Azure DevOps Server 2020

You can report on the execution state of one or more Test Plans in Power BI. The report you create using the information in this article is similar to the following image and the summary chart of the Track test status - Progress report.

This report displays two donut charts that summarize Test Plans executed and not executed, and the status of executed Test Plans.

  • Executed vs Not executed
    • Executed: The sum and percentage of test cases that ran.
    • NotExecuted: The sum and percentage of test cases that didn't run.
  • Split by outcome
    • Passed: The sum and percentage of test cases that passed.
    • Blocked: The sum and percentage of test cases that are currently blocked from running.
    • Failed: The sum and percentage of test cases that failed when run.
    • NotApplicable: The sum and percentage of test cases that didn't run.

Questions the report answers

The overall execution state report helps you track the team's progress with respect to planned testing of your product or service by answering the following questions:

  • How much testing is complete?
  • What is the current status of tests passing, failing, or being blocked?

Important

Power BI integration and access to the OData feed of the Analytics Service are generally available for Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server 2020 and later versions. The sample queries provided in this article are valid only against Azure DevOps Server 2020 and later versions, and depend on v3.0-preview or later version. We encourage you to use these queries and provide us feedback.

Prerequisites

Note

This article assumes you read Overview of Sample Reports using OData Queries and have a basic understanding of Power BI.

For the report to generate useful data, the team must carry out the following activities to manage test plans:

  • Define test plans, test suites, and test cases. Specify their state. For a Test Suite to run, it must be in the In Progress state. For a Test Case to run, it must be in the Ready state. For details, see Create manual test cases.

  • Run manual tests and verify the results. Mark the results of each validation step in the test case as passed or failed. For details, see Run manual tests.

    Note

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

Sample queries

You can use the following queries of the TestPoints entity set to create different but similar test plan progress reports.

Note

To determine available properties for filter or report purposes, see Metadata reference for Test Plans Analytics. You can filter your queries or return properties using any of the Property values under an EntityType or NavigationPropertyBinding Path values available with an EntitySet. Each EntitySet corresponds to an EntityType. For more information about the data type of each value, review the metadata provided for the corresponding EntityType.

Copy and paste the following Power BI query directly into the Get Data > Blank Query window. For more information, see Overview of sample reports using OData queries.

let 
    Source = OData.Feed ("https://analytics.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_odata/v3.0-preview/TestPoints?" 
        &"$apply=filter(TestSuite/TestPlanTitle eq '{testPlanTitle}')" 
        &"/aggregate(" 
            &"$count as TotalCount," 
            &"cast(LastResultOutcome eq 'Passed', Edm.Int32) with sum as Passed," 
            &"cast(LastResultOutcome eq 'Failed', Edm.Int32) with sum as Failed," 
            &"cast(LastResultOutcome eq 'Blocked', Edm.Int32) with sum as Blocked," 
            &"cast(LastResultOutcome eq 'NotApplicable', Edm.Int32) with sum as NotApplicable," 
            &"cast(LastResultOutcome eq 'None', Edm.Int32) with sum as NotExecuted," 
            &"cast(LastResultOutcome ne 'None', Edm.Int32) with sum as Executed" 
        &")/compute(" 
            &"Executed mul 100 div TotalCount as ExecPct," 
            &"iif(TotalCount gt NotExecuted, Passed mul 100 div Executed,0) as PassedPct" 
        &")", null, [Implementation="2.0"])

Substitution strings and query breakdown

Substitute the following strings with your values. Don't include brackets {} with your substitution. For example if your organization name is "Fabrikam", replace {organization} with Fabrikam, not {Fabrikam}.

  • {organization} - Your organization name
  • {project} - Your team project name, or omit "/{project}" entirely, for a cross-project query
  • {testPlanTitle} - Title of the test plan whose data you want to return.

Query breakdown

The following table describes each part of the query.

Query part

Description

filter((TestSuite/TestPlanTitle eq '{testPlanTitle}'))

Return data for only selected test plan. You can add multiple plans with a clause like filter((TestSuite/TestPlanTitle eq '{testPlanTitle1}' or TestSuite/TestPlanTitle eq '{testPlanTitle2}')). You can also apply any other filters related to test suites, test configurations here.

/aggregate($count as TotalCount,

Aggregate data across the filtered test points with having count as TotalCount.

cast(LastResultOutcome eq 'Passed', Edm.Int32) with sum as Passed

While aggregating, type-cast test points having latest execution outcome 'Passed' to 1 and sum them up as 'Passed' metric.

/compute(Executed mul 100 div TotalCount as ExecPct.

Provide a computed metric ExecPct that is equal to (Executed test points / Total count * 100).

(Optional) Rename query

You can rename the default query label, Query1, to something more meaningful. Simply enter a new name from the Query Settings pane.

Screenshot of Power BI query menu options, rename query.

Change column data type

From the Power Query Editor, select the TotalCount column and all other columns, and then select Data Type from the Transform menu, and choose Whole Number. For more information about changing the data type, see Transform Analytics data to generate Power BI reports, Transform a column data type.

(Optional) Rename column fields

You can rename column fields. For example, you can rename the column NotApplicable to Not Applicable, or TotalCount to Total Count. To learn how, see Rename column fields.

Close the query and apply your changes

Once you've completed all your data transformations, choose Close & Apply from the Home menu to save the query and return to the Report tab in Power BI.

Create the Donut chart report

  1. In Power BI, under Visualizations, choose the Donut report.

    Screenshot of visualization fields selections for test progress run report.

  2. To create a donut chart of Executed v/s Not executed, add the following fields to Values, in the order indicated.

    • Executed
    • NotExecuted.

  3. To create donut chart split by outcome, add the following fields to Values, in the order indicated.

    • Passed
    • Failed
    • Blocked
    • NotApplicable
    • and so on.

The following image shows the resulting report.
