Run Automation testcase from TestPlan having multiple test configuration assigned

Hello Everyone,

 

I have a requirement wherein I need to run automated testcase(from Test Plan using build and Release pipeline), which takes the Test suite configuration value as input to the Test case.

For the single assigned configuration, I achieved it by calling Azure DevOps APIs from the NUnit test and passing the values from the response to the testcase.

 

But when I assign 2 configuration values to the same testcase, it creates 2 instances in Execution Tab as below:

When I run the 2 instances by clicking on "Run for web application", only the first instance is executed and second instance remains in "In Progress" forever.


In the release pipeline, I get this in the logs:


Is there a way to execute both the instances of the same testcase in one go?

    How about using RunAutomatedTest API:

     

    1. Use the RunAutomatedTest API
    - Query all test points for the test case using the Test Point API.
    - For each test point (i.e., each configuration), trigger a test run using the Run Create API.
    - This ensures each configuration instance is executed independently.
    2. Use YAML Pipeline with Test Plan Integration
    If you're using a release pipeline, you can integrate with Azure Test Plans using the VsTest task:

    - task: VSTest@2
  inputs:
    testSelector: 'testPlan'
    testPlan: '<TestPlanId>'
    testSuite: '<TestSuiteId>'
    testConfiguration: '<ConfigurationId>'
    searchFolder: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)'

    To run multiple configurations, you can loop through them or define multiple VSTest tasks with different testConfiguration values.
