Provide feedback using the Test & Feedback extension

TFS 2018

Stakeholders and other users can respond to feedback requests using the Test & Feedback extension in two ways:

Before you start, ensure you have installed the Test & Feedback extension. This is required in order to respond to feedback requests.

Note

Any user with a Stakeholder access can use the Test & Feedback extension in Stakeholder mode. This mode is designed to allow the widest possible range of users to assist test teams by providing feedback.

Provide feedback directly from a feedback request email

  1. Open the feedback request email and choose the Provide feedback link.

    Choosing the Provide feedback link in the request email

  2. The Azure DevOps landing page opens to confirm that the extension has been automatically configured with the feedback request. Choose the launch extension icon in the toolbar to launch the extension.

    If you are a Stakeholder, you see the Feedback requests page. Read the instructions (if any) in the feedback form to understand how to give the feedback and what the requestor requires.

    If you are a Basic user, you see the Explore work item traceability page showing details of the user story on which feedback was requested, and the user acceptance criteria (if any).
