• Dry Run Mode: Preview changes before applying them
• Environment Configuration: Secure credential management through environment variables

Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install azure-devops-test-manager

From Source

git clone https://github.com/iqbaljunaid/azure-devops-test-manager.git
cd azure-devops-test-manager
pip install -e .

Development Installation

git clone https://github.com/iqbaljunaid/azure-devops-test-manager.git
cd azure-devops-test-manager
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quick Start

1. Configuration

Set up your Azure DevOps credentials as environment variables:

export AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT="your_personal_access_token"
export AZURE_DEVOPS_ORG="https://dev.azure.com/yourorg"
export AZURE_DEVOPS_PROJECT="Your Project Name"

2. Basic Usage

# List all test points in a test plan
azure-devops-test-manager 12345

# List test points for a specific suite with details
azure-devops-test-manager 12345 67890 --detailed

# Update test points from XML results
azure-devops-test-manager 12345 --from-xml test-results.xml

# Preview updates without applying them
azure-devops-test-manager 12345 --update-outcome Passed --dry-run

Command Line Usage

Listing Test Points

# List all test points in a test plan
azure-devops-test-manager 679333

# List test points for a specific suite
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 679334

# Get detailed test case information (slower)
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --detailed

# Export results to different formats
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --output json
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --output csv

Updating Test Points

# Update all test points to "Passed"
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --update-outcome Passed

# Update only specific outcomes
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --update-outcome Passed --filter-outcome Failed

# Update only automated tests
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --update-outcome Passed --filter-automated true

# Add comments to updates
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --update-outcome Passed --comment "Fixed in latest build"

# Preview changes before applying
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --update-outcome Passed --dry-run

XML-Based Updates

The tool can parse JUnit/pytest XML test results and automatically update test points:

# Update test points based on XML results
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --from-xml test-results.xml

# Preview XML-based updates
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --from-xml test-results.xml --dry-run

# Update specific suite with higher matching threshold
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 679334 --from-xml test-results.xml --min-score 90

# Add comment to XML-based updates
azure-devops-test-manager 679333 --from-xml test-results.xml --comment "Updated from CI pipeline"

Configuration

# Check current configuration
azure-devops-test-manager --show-config

# Get help
azure-devops-test-manager --help

Python API Usage

You can also use the tool programmatically:

from azure_devops_test_manager import AzureTestPointManager

# Initialize manager
manager = AzureTestPointManager()

# List test points
test_points = manager.list_test_points_for_plan(plan_id=12345)

# Update from XML results
results = manager.update_from_test_results(
    plan_id=12345,
    xml_file_path="test-results.xml",
    comment="Updated from automated tests"
)

print(f"Updated {results['total_updated']} test points")

# Update specific test point
manager.update_test_point_outcome(
    plan_id=12345,
    suite_id=67890,
    point_id=123,
    outcome="Passed",
    comment="Manual verification complete"
)

Configuration

The tool supports configuration through environment variables:

Variable	Description	Default
AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT	Personal Access Token (Required)	None
AZURE_DEVOPS_ORG	Organization URL	https://azure-devops.visualstudio.com
AZURE_DEVOPS_PROJECT	Project Name	Project_NAME

Required Permissions

Your Azure DevOps Personal Access Token needs the following permissions:

• Test Management: Read & Write
• Work Items: Read (for detailed test case information)

XML Test Results Format

The tool supports standard JUnit/pytest XML formats. Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<testsuites>
  <testsuite name="pytest" tests="3" failures="1" skipped="1">
    <testcase classname="tests.test_example" name="test_success" time="0.001"/>
    <testcase classname="tests.test_example" name="test_failure" time="0.002">
      <failure message="AssertionError">Test failed</failure>
    </testcase>
    <testcase classname="tests.test_example" name="test_skip" time="0.000">
      <skipped message="Skipped test"/>
    </testcase>
  </testsuite>
</testsuites>

Outcome Mapping

XML test results are mapped to Azure DevOps outcomes as follows:

XML Result	Azure DevOps Outcome
passed	Passed
failed	Failed
error	Failed
skipped	Blocked

Fuzzy Matching

The tool uses fuzzy string matching to correlate XML test names with Azure DevOps test case names:

• Clean Name Matching: Removes common prefixes like test_
• Partial Matching: Handles partial name matches
• Token Sort Matching: Flexible word order matching
• Configurable Threshold: Minimum similarity score (default: 80%)
