Set Default Test Plan When Adding Tests From Board
I have 3 Test Plans set up in my Area Path: Smoke Test, Regression Test, and Integrations. When I add a Test to a user story via the Board (ellipses > Add Test), the test is automatically created...
May think about workaround:
- Rename Your Test Plans Strategically
Azure DevOps tends to default to the first test plan alphabetically. Try renaming your plans like this:
- 1_Integrations
- 2_Smoke Test
- 3_Regression Test
This can trick the system into defaulting to “Integrations” when adding tests from Boards.
- Use the Test Plans Hub Instead
Instead of adding tests from the Boards view:
- Go to Test Plans.
- Select the “Integrations” plan.
- Create a new suite and link it to your user story manually. This gives you full control over where the test lands.
- Use Azure DevOps REST API or Power Automate
- Use the Azure DevOps REST API to programmatically create test suites in the desired plan.
Or build a Power Automate flow that triggers when a test is added and moves it to the “Integrations” plan.
