How to create Azure DevOps Test plans?

Create test plans and test suites to track manual testing for sprints or milestones. That way, you can see when the testing for a specific sprint or milestone is complete. For more information about manual testing,

What are test plans, test suites, and test cases?

Azure Test Plans or the Test hub in Azure DevOps Server provides three main types of test management artifacts: test plans, test suites, and test cases. These elements are stored in your work repository as special types of work items. You can export and share them with your team, and benefit from close integration for all of your DevOps tasks.

Azure Test Plans or the Test hub in Azure DevOps Server (see Web portal navigation) provides three main types of test management artifacts: test plans, test suites, and test cases. These elements are stored in your work repository as special types of work items. You can export and share them with your team, and benefit from close integration for all of your DevOps tasks.

After you create your test plan, you assign test configurations and assign testers to cover the required test matrix. These testers run the tests and gauge the quality of the product. Testers continue testing until the product meets exit criteria. For the next development cycle and release, you can create a new test plan and reuse the same test cases. You repeat this development-test-release cycle by importing the same test cases into each new test plan.

The great thing is that, because test plans refer to test cases, updates to a test case automatically reflect in all the test plans and test suites that use it.
