devops pipeline trigger by test case

Hi,

 

I have a devops pipeline that i want to trigger from within  an azure devops test case. I was able to assciate a unit test to a test case within Visual Studio but can't see a way to associate a devops pipeline to a test case.

 

It seems that i would have to load the devops pipeline inside Visual Studio, test project or similar but cant see a way to do this.  Thanks very much for any answers.

    Take this:

     

    1. Associate Automated Tests with Test Cases
      Seems You've already done this in Visual Studio
    2. Create Build and Release Pipelines
      • The build pipeline should compile your code and publish test binaries.
      • The release pipeline should be created using the "Run automated tests from Test Manager" template. 
    3. Configure Test Plan Settings
      In Azure DevOps:
      • Go to Test Plans → select your test plan.
      • Open Test Plan Settings.
      • Link the build pipeline that produces your test binaries.
      • Link the release pipeline that will run the tests.
    4. Run the Test Case
      From the Test Suite → Execute tab, choose Run. This will trigger the release pipeline, which in turn runs the associated automated test.
