Microsoft Enhances .NET Testing Workflows with Azure DevOps Integration

Microsoft has announced full Azure DevOps support for its modern .NET testing solution, Microsoft.Testing.Platform, marking a major step toward smoother CI/CD testing workflows. The update introduces intelligent handling of test retries and better pipeline integration, aiming to improve reliability and clarity in automated test results.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • What’s New in Azure DevOps?

    Azure DevOps now provides first-class support for Microsoft.Testing.Platform, allowing you to run tests with the familiar DotNetCoreCLI task and handle retries intelligently.

  • What is Microsoft.Testing.Platform?

    Microsoft.Testing.Platform is a modern, lightweight alternative to VSTest, built for flexibility and performance.

  • Running Tests in Azure DevOps

    Run tests using the recommended DotNetCoreCLI task or execute dotnet test directly when custom scripting is needed.

  • Understanding Retry Outcomes

    Retry results clearly show whether tests pass on the first run, pass after a retry, or fail after all retry attempts.

  • Get Started Today

    Upgrade to .NET SDK 10, add the Retry extension, enable AllowPTRToDetectTestRunRetryFiles, and run tests with the --retry-failed-tests flag.
