# Azure Test Plans Skill This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Test Plans. Covers limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities. ## How to Use This Skill > **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file > **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md) This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content: - **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown. - **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown. ## Category Index | Category | Lines | Description | |----------|-------|-------------| | Limits & Quotas | L32-L38 | Limits, permissions, and retention rules for Azure Test Plans and Pipelines, plus how to configure test run custom fields and pipeline retention behavior. | | Security | L39-L43 | Managing permissions, access levels, and security roles for users and groups in Azure Test Plans manual testing features. | | Configuration | L44-L48 | Configuring and using test failure types in Azure Test Plans, including defining categories, managing them, and applying them to test results for better defect tracking. | | Integrations & Coding Patterns | L49-L52 | Using tcm.exe CLI to manage Azure Test Plans: create and run test suites, import/export test cases, manage test configurations, and automate test management tasks | ### Limits & Quotas | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Configure Azure Pipelines retention limits and behavior | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/policies/retention?view=azure-devops | | Use custom fields for Azure DevOps test runs | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/test/custom-fields?view=azure-devops | | Understand Azure Test Plans limits, permissions, and retention | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/test/reference-qa?view=azure-devops | ### Security | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Configure permissions and access for Azure manual testing | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/test/manual-test-permissions?view=azure-devops | ### Configuration | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Configure and manage test failure types in Azure Test Plans | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/test/manage-test-failure-type?view=azure-devops | ### Integrations & Coding Patterns | Topic | URL | |-------|-----| | Use tcm.exe commands for Azure Test Plans management | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/test/test-case-managment-reference?view=azure-devops |
