Azure DevOps is Microsoft's Software as a service (SaaS) platform that provides an end-to-end DevOps programming tools for developing and deploying software. Meanwhile, Parasoft testing tools and DTP provide comprehensive automated testing tools that find quality problems and run tests in the software project. You can enhance your project workflow by integrating Azure DevOps with Parasoft DTP, which strengthens traceability between two pivotal system elements:
- Azure DevOps, which is responsible for the definition of requirements, defects, and tests.
- Parasoft testing tools, which execute automated tests and find defects and violations in your software, plus Parasoft DTP, which is a reporting and analytics dashboard.
Connecting DTP to Azure DevOps Server Express and Azure DevOps Server provides the following functionality:
Creating defects in Azure DevOps from Parasoft DTP Violations Explorer and Test Explorer views
When Parasoft testing tools detect a static analysis violation or when an automated test failure is reported in DTP, you can effortlessly create a defect report in the integrated Azure DevOps directly from the Parasoft DTP interface. See Manually Creating Issues and Defects in Azure DevOps.
Sending Parasoft tests results to Azure DevOps requirements and test definitions
Your software requirements are defined in Azure DevOps, while Parasoft tools and DTP are used to test the implementation of these requirements. You can track traceability between these requirements in Azure DevOps and test results in Parasoft DTP using traceability reports in Azure DevOps by sending test results from Parasoft DTP to Azure DevOps. See Sending Test Data to Azure DevOps and Viewing Results.
Monitoring Azure DevOps Requirements Traceability to Test Results in Parasoft DTP Reports
This use case is similar the previous functionality, where the aim is to monitor traceability from Azure DevOps requirements to Parasoft test results. However, the difference lies in the source of the reports. While the previous functionality facilitated reports in Azure DevOps, this one utilizes reports in Parasoft DTP. See Parasoft to Azure DevOps Traceability Reports.
Configuration
Before you can take advantage of these features, some configuration is required. See Configuring Integration with Azure DevOps.
In addition, if you intend to use the Monitoring Azure DevOps Requirements Traceability to Test Results in Parasoft DTP Reports functionality mentioned above, there are some additional configurations required. See Configuring Parasoft to Azure DevOps Traceability.
