I want to know if there is any possibility to add on an Azure DevOps(TFS) dashboard the start time of the tests.
Currently I have a pie chart with all the test runned over night,(passed, fail and not run) and I want to know if there is any possibility to add the time when the test were executed on this dashboard.
Thank you.
You can create your own widget, based on a custom query, and then add the widget to your dashboard. See more info here.
If you run tests from Build or Release Pipeline, you may try Test Results Trend (Advanced) widget, with the Test Results Trend (Advanced) widget, you can track the test quality of your pipelines over time.

For some time im looking for a possibility to display parameters on build view on Azure DevOps. Unfortunately i did not found any system option to enable it. I wonder if there is a way to create a custom tab in this view to display the params used in the current build. Right now the only option of seeing the params is clicking on "Run New" button and lookup for the params used in last run. What about runtime lookup? , not possible.
The tab next to Summary, Tests called Parameters will do the trick. In example like Jenkins has it's Parameters view.
Is there any already existing way to implement such or simmilar view?
An image to imagine what view im talking about :)
Looking google for already existing possibilities or info about how to implement this.
You could check the run time parameter selected in the job log.
Pipeline summary UI -> Click the Job -> Job summary page -> Job preparation parameters
Here's the parameter defined in the test pipeline.
Another workaround is to add a script task in your pipeline to echo the parameters. So that you can check out what parameters are selected from the task log later.
-script:|
echo "name ---> ${{parameters.name}}"
displayName:'Parameters Selected'
If you want the UI section like "Tests" view, currently there's no build in feature to achieve this, you could create a suggestion via: Visual Studio Feedback
I needed a small help. Whenever I run the pipeline, the data being displayed in testtab is incorrect and it displays the data which I ran on my local desktop rather than the job ran on Agent.
You can run tests in test tabs using different options. You can use any to solve your problem:
Automatically inferred test result: for some popular test runners' pipeline automatically infer the test output.
This is done with the help of describing the error logs generated during build operation.
Publish Test result task: Publishes test result to azure pipeline you choose the runner for tests execution available in
any formats.
Test execution tasks: Built -in test execution tasks such as visual studio test that automatically publish tests results to the pipeline
Azure Devops also provide other way to surface the test information You can use this.
Test analytics provide rich insights into test result over a period of time, identify problematic area in your test.
The dashboard provide track of your work's progress add widgets that surface test related information.

I might be missing something, but can't find a way to export tests run results from the project's build pipeline execution page in Azure DevOps.
There is a "Download logs" option, of cause, where you technically can find logs from tests execution step as well among other things, but that doesn't seems to be the best/proper way to get that kind of data on a regular basis for regulations/audit/documentation purpose compared to how it is possible to get test results from other build systems right out-of-the-box (TeamCity/Jenkins etc).
So what would be the best approach to get this kind of data out of the system - custom task or else?
There is a simpler way to download the test results in trx format if you do not have Test Plans.
Go to the Tests tab from your build pipeline run.
Select your Test Run from the bottom pane (top level row for your run). A dialog should open on your right with options like Debug, Attachments, etc.
Click on the Attachments tab and you will find your trx file here.
I found that today, it will actually work. Even if you don't have test plans or anything, published tests artifacts will go into Tests Plan -> Runs.
Then you will be able to click on Tests Runs, select the run you want to download, and simply download the attachment.
You can export test plans, test suites, and test cases from Test Plans. Select the details that you want in the report. Then email or print this report for review.
I would like to measure the testing progress (how many tests are done, how many passed/failed, how many tests run by a specific tester) in MS Azure DevOps.
I came across this article and it seems Test Results Trend widget is what I need (plus the widget is enabled on my installation).
Now, I have the test plan with the test suites and test cases. But the widget works with the pipelines. My knowledge is very limited here... but I would expect one should be able to build a pipeline from the test suite.
Does anyone have experience with that?
The Test Results Trend widget is for Unit Tests (that executed during a build pipeline), what do you need is Chart for Test Plan:
There you can configure the widget to display Test Cases / Test Runs (according to Tets Plan/Suite).
In the "Test Plans" page you can also configure charts that display that information:
I understand that gitlab has support to Jenkins CI, but what I need is a lot less than that.
I have a Rails application and get the coverage from the tests using simplecov. It generates HTML output in a directory by running a rake task. I would like to see the current coverage through gitlab. Is there a simple way to integrate this report with gitlab?
I fear there is still no easy way to integrate code coverage reports but Gitlab now supports (since Version 8.0 integrated) build jobs for your code. Unfortunately you have to implement your solution by writing a custom .gitlab-ci.yml to run your coverage tests. For viewing the reports, you can specify the generated "artifacts" or publish them on gitlab pages.
For more information, see here: https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ci/
Additionally you can parse a text output to display a short code coverage report:
(Enable builds and output test coverage)
Go to "Project Settings" -> Builds
Add to "Test coverage parsing" a regular expression (examples below, simplecov included)
See Publish Code Coverage Report with GitLab Pages
The short answer: Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this.
The longer answer:
GitLab not yet has a Jenkins support.
What you basically need is a service like GitLab CI or Jenkins CI, which starts simplecov and posts the output back to GitLab. Unfortunately GitLab does not offer such a functionality yet.
But I know other organizations which do have a Jenkins service for GitLab which automatically comment git pushes with the Jenkins result.
You now (June 2020, GitLab 13.1) have code coverage history, in addition of Test coverage parsing.
Graph code coverage changes over time for a project
All too often, a project has a code coverage target but development teams might not have much visibility into which direction that target value is trending over time.
There needs to be an easier way to track changes in code coverage over time without that extra hassle.
The Code Coverage graph now provides better visibility into how code coverage is trending over time.
It displays a simple graph of the coverage value(s) calculated in pipelines.
See Documentation and Issue
With GitLab 13.6 (November 2020), you also have (not for free though)
Display code coverage data for selected projects
In 13.4, we released the first iteration of Code Coverage data for Groups that enables you to compare the coverage of multiple projects and download the data in a single file from a single screen. However, to analyze the data, you had to open the file to check it manually, and probably imported it into a spreadsheet for further analysis.
In GitLab 13.6, you can now select specific projects in a group to see their latest coverage values directly in GitLab itself without needing to download a file or waste development time accessing code coverage data. We welcome feedback on the functionality and possible iterations for this feature in our feedback issue.
