Requirements management using Azure DevOps

Link work items from Azure DevOps as requirements with test cases in TestCollab

Presenting the feature that helps you use the project requirements (work items) that have been managed in Azure DevOps, to get them linked with test cases, arranged and searched on requirements list and to get traceability matrix generated in TestCollab.

Configuring Azure DevOps as source of requirements

To start using work items from Azure DevOps, we would first configure the requirements management settings for our TestCollab project.

Configure Azure DevOps as requirements manager

Steps to configure:

  • Select Azure DevOps as the source of requirements

  • Connect your Azure DevOps account to be used

  • Select Azure DevOps project and work item types that are to be used as requirements in TestCollab Project

  • Save the settings

Linking requirements with test cases

Once requirements mapping has been enabled for current project then linking work items from Azure DevOps with test cases is simple. The work items are to searched by their title either at the time time of adding test case or editing test cases (this includes bulk update action also)

Linking Azure DevOps work items as requirements

Requirements index

The requirements present in project can be accessed on requirements index.

On requirements index:

  • All requirements are listed

  • They can be arranged in the order of any of the columns

  • They can be filtered on their properties

  • The values on "Linked test cases count" count allow you to automatically navigate to test cases manage page to see the test cases filtered on the basis of linked requirement

Filtering requirements

Removing a synced requirement

Some items in Azure DevOps are not in your testing scope, for example a marketing task. To remove one from TestCollab, open the ... menu at the end of its row on the Requirements page and choose Delete. TestCollab removes the requirement from this project for good, and future syncs do not import it again, also when it changes in Azure DevOps. The item in Azure DevOps does not change.

Delete a synced requirement in TestCollab: future syncs will not import it

A requirement that is linked to test cases or risks cannot be deleted: unlink them first. The deletion is recorded in the project's activity.
