Azure DevOps Integration

This document explains the concept of Azure DevOps integration.

The Azure DevOps Integration functionality allows the users to log defects and other issues on Azure DevOps based on reports generated by Avo Assure.

The Log a Bug feature in Azure DevOps is an essential tool for overseeing software development and testing processes. The main objective of Azure DevOps’s Log a Bug tool is to make easily identify and handle software error or problems found during testing or any other stage of development.

Why Azure DevOps?

A centralized repository stores all the bugs within Azure DevOps to ensure that all the team members have access to the latest information and updates. This helps provide a seamless communication and collaboration between testers, developers, and other stakeholders involved in the bug resolution process.

Integration of Avo with Azure DevOps allows users to map user stories and Testcases with Avo scenarios. Furthermore, users can raise a bug, and the link to the associated Testcase will be automatically appended for better traceability.

Note: A point to note is that only a quality manager and quality lead can work with Azure DevOps.
