Create links and track issues.
Azure DevOps is a Microsoft product that provides project management, reporting, requirements management, testing and release management capabilities.
Functionality overview
DevOps integration lets you create Work Items from TestMonitor issues. Each Work Item contains the TestMonitor issue name, description, status, impact, category, impact, and assignee. Work Items include attachments, as well.
When TestMonitor sends an issue to DevOps, a link back to TestMonitor is included. That link lets you check issue progress.
Setup requirements
- You must have a TestMonitor administrator account.
- You must have a DevOps account (with permissions to create Work Items).
