I need to clone certain Test Suites from one test plan to another.
A test plan is made up of test suites and those test suites are made up of test cases.
So I would like to take a test Suite Id and clone/copy it over to a new test plan.
We are using Azure Dev Ops online.
Is this possible or am I looking at it via the wrong way?
This was something I noticed when upgrading from using MTM for test case management. It seems like this kind of option was missing. I made a developer community post asking for clarity on whether this was a gap.
Current Response:
Thank you for your feedback!
According to your description , I suggest you install Test Case Explorer extension and then you can access to Test Case -> Pivot by Test plan -> click “Clone test plan”, set Area path and Iteration path, then Clone.

We have some generic test cases in Azure DevOps that are included in multiple test suites. When you run a test case for a web app, the test runner window displays the test case ID and name but not the test suite name. Our client is finding this is leading to some confusion as to what is actually being tested. is there a way to display the test suite name as well as the test case name? I've just discovered that you can use parameters in a test case so I'm about to investigate that, but I think that it may apply only to steps and not the title.
For the record, I have decided to use configurations for this. It's more of a workaround than a solution, because it means creating lots of configurations and assigning them to test suites and also that configurations can't be used for other purposes.
I have manual test plan in Azure DevOps with tree of suites that correspond to different functions in my app. Let's say it looks like this:
Now, I need to have one place where I can review tests results from whole test plan ran for particular build. Like acceptance tests.
There's no way to run multiple suites in one run, I guess. Didn't find such possibility, though. Tests ran suite by suite produce multiple testruns, which is understandable.
What I want to achieve is one link to all test results for specific build which I can provide further to PM.
We have QA and DEV environment in our automation repo. We are using karate as our framework. We have TestParallel class and integrated allure report.
How could we run all tests in QA first then in DEV back to back using TestParallel Class and see the results in the same report?
Thanks for such a great tool btw.
We are going to try and make this easier in the next version.
For now, you have to aggregate the reports yourself. Can you try this and let us know how it goes.
use the Runner class 2 times to run your tests with different settings and karate.env set for QA and then DEV
the important part is using a different value for the workingDir, e.g. target/reports/qa and then target/reports/dev - else the second run will overwrite the first
now when generating the HTML report, you can provide target/reports as the source folder. this should work for the Maven Cucumber Reports, for Allure, please figure this out on your own
if the above approach does not work well enough for your needs, please figure out a way to manually aggregate the Results object you get from each instance of the Runner, this should not be too complicated as Java code
Is there some way of discovering which Test Plans and/or Test Suites an individual Test Case has been used in?
In an ideal world, I'd also like to see all the previous outcomes for a particular Test Case. For example, did it fail for a previous release?

I need to be able to start with the Test Case outside of the TestPlans screen. I only have a Test Case number and don't know any of the Test Plans or Suites it's been put into. We have a large number of Test Plans and I can't look in each one individually.
Further update:
How to determine which Plans and Suites an individual Test Case belongs to in TestPlans for AzureDevOps
You could select a test case, then click show/hide details pane. The Associated test suites pane shows you any test suite for any test plan that contains this test case. This includes all projects:
Then, we can view the test suites details in the test plan:
Check the FAQs for manual testing for some details.

Help this helps.
For the past day, the 'New Test Plan' button has been missing from our VSTS UI inside the Test-Test Plans area. I also can't find anywhere else in VSTS giving the option to create a new test plan. (I'm sure there used to be a few places, but they were obvious, and now missing)
Could it be anything to do with star symbol showing in the UI after ' Test Plans* ', like some changes need saving somewhere before new test plans can be added? In which case, what changes should I be looking for to save?
Generally Test plan creation is limited to users subscribed to Test Manager extension or VS/MSDN subscribers.
Basic license users can only run tests. You need a valid Visual Studio
subscription (Enterprise, Test Professional or MSDN Platforms) or Test
Manager license ($52 monthly):
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms.vss-testmanager-web
to create test plans.
See this thread : Can't add a new test plan
So please check if you have the license to create the test plan, and for an paid extension you must assign that extension to users who need access, so they can start using that extension's capabilities. Please see Assign paid extension access to users
Whatever, I can reproduce the issue on myside, seems it's an issue with the preview feature.
As a workaround you can create the Test Plan with MTM (Microsoft Test Manager) or REST API (Test Plans - Create). Both work for me, but the test plan will not display immediately after creating it, you may need to wait for several minutes to sync it.
