Learn how to add, run, update, and expand and collapse inline tests in Azure DevOps.
To start manual testing, add the test to the user story or bug that you want to test. From the board, you can define inline tests or a set of manual tests for a backlog item. You also can run these tests and update their status. If you're new to working with the board, see the Board quickstart.
Tests you create from the board are automatically linked to the user story or backlog item.

To add tests, open the menu for a work item.
Inline tests are the same as test cases in a test suite. A default test plan and test suite automatically get created under which the manual test cases are grouped.
For example, a test suite is created for the following user story, and inline tests are added to that suite. User story 314 is highlighted. It has two manual tests defined with the IDs 337 and 341.
-
If you have a number of tests to add, enter each title and select Enter.
To add details to the test case, open it. You can select the title, double-select the inline item, or open the context menu and choose Open.
For more information about how to define tests, see Create manual tests.
Before you run the test, you must add details.

Run the test by selecting 
Run test from the 
actions menu for the inline test.
Microsoft Test Runner starts in a new browser instance. For information on how to run a test, see Run manual tests. ::: moniker-end

You can update the status of the test from the actions menu.
When you update the status of tests, you can track test results.
