DevOps, Git, and Agile updates from the team building Azure DevOps
August 18, 2017Aug 18, 201708/18/17Updating off pre-RTM bits once RTM ships ought to be routine. But if you have not already done so in the case of the .NET Core based Test projects, let me give you a reason to do so.
vstest delegates discovery and execution of tests to test-framework-specific adapters.
August 4, 2017Aug 4, 201708/4/17Essential to TIA’s test selection is the map of dynamic dependencies between test methods and source files of code exercised during their execution. TIA needs dependencies mapped in this form:
TestMethod1
dependency1
dependency2
TestMethod2
dependency1
dependency3
TIA can generate such a dependencies-map for managed code execution.
July 18, 2017Jul 18, 201707/18/17APIs are assets. As developers we learn them, write to them, and – if the API are extensible – we grow them. An extensible API removes barriers to introducing new abstractions closer to our own domains. Once such abstractions are in place,
July 3, 2017Jul 3, 201707/3/17Deploy Visual Studio Test Agent (DTA) task in TFS/VSTS, is used for setting up Test Agent (TA) on multiple machines to run functional tests. Image below describes the functionality of the task and present reboot cases:
DTA Task & need of Auto-logon
To run UI tests that interact with desktop,
June 13, 2017Jun 13, 201706/13/17At its core, TIA collects, and subsequently consults, a map of the dynamic dependencies of each test method as it is executing. As the test method is executing it will cover various methods – the source file in which those methods reside are the dynamic dependencies that get tracked.
May 22, 2017May 22, 201705/22/17To demonstrate our continued commitment to support Java developers and their full lifecycle DevOps needs with Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) and Team Foundation Server (TFS), I want to share some of our recent and exciting Java-related feature announcements. Our teams are working with large and small Java teams every day to better understand their needs and to solicit recommendations for improvements of our tools.
May 16, 2017May 16, 201705/16/17The previous post introduced how – for a given code commit – TIA will select and run only the relevant tests required to validate that commit. Thus, without sacrificing quality, both the testrun and its enclosing CI definition will complete faster.
May 9, 2017May 9, 201705/9/17Transparent development enables collaboration. When we open sourced the Visual Studio Test Platform and the MSTest Test Framework “MSTest V2”, we shared out links to issues, implementation and our roadmap.

May 5, 2017May 5, 201705/5/17‘Run Functional Tests’ (RFT) task is used for running functional tests using remote machines or to run tests in a distributed manner using multiple machines. With TFS 2017 Update 2 and VSTS, You can use “Run Functional Tests” task to run tests using Visual Studio Test Agent 2017.
April 5, 2017Apr 5, 201704/5/17As promised, we announced the open sourcing of MSTest Test Framework “MSTest V2”. The community now has a fully supported, open source, cross-platform implementation of the MSTest V2 portfolio with which to write tests targeting .NET Framework, .NET Core and ASP.NET Core on Windows,
