Test summary trend sample report

Azure DevOps Services

This article shows you how to create a report that shows day wise trend of number of total failed tests and test pass rate for a pipeline.

An example is shown in the following image.

Sample - Test Summary - Report

Important

Power BI integration and access to the OData feed of the Analytics Service are in Preview. The sample queries provided in this article are valid only against Azure DevOps Services and depend on v3.0-preview or later version. We encourage you to use these queries and provide us feedback.

Specifically, you'll find sample queries for the following reports:

  • Test summary trend for build workflow
  • Test summary trend for release workflow
  • Test summary trend for a particular branch
  • Test summary trend for a particular test file
  • Test summary trend for a particular test owner

Prerequisites

  • You must be a member of a project with Basic access or higher. If you haven't been added as a project member, get added now. Anyone with access to the project, except stakeholders, can view Analytics views.
  • For Analytics data to be available, the corresponding service must be enabled. For example, to query work tracking data, Boards must be enabled. If it is disabled, Analytics views won't be displayed. To re-enable a service, see Turn an Azure DevOps service on or off
  • To use Analytics views, enable the Analytics Views preview feature either for individual users or for the organization.
  • Also, you must have your *View Analytics permission set to Allow. For more information, see Grant permissions to access the Analytics service.
  • To use Power BI for Azure DevOps or to exercise an OData query for Analytics, you must must have your View Analytics permission set to Allow. By default, all Contributors with Basic access are granted access. To edit shared Analytics views, you must have your Edit shared Analytics views permission set to Allow. For more information, see Grant permissions to access the Analytics service.

Sample queries

Note

This article assumes you've read Overview of Sample Reports using OData Queries and have a basic understanding of Power BI.

You can paste the Power BI query listed below directly into the Get Data->Blank Query window. For more information, review Overview of sample reports using OData queries.

let
   Source = OData.Feed ("https://analytics.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_odata/v4.0-preview/TestRuns?
$apply=filter("
                &"Pipeline/PipelineName eq '{pipelineName}' "
                &"and CompletedOn/Date ge {startdate} "
        &"and Workflow eq 'Build' "
        &") "
            &"/groupby( "
                &"(CompletedOn/Date), "
                &"aggregate( "
            &"ResultCount with sum as ResultCount, "
                &"ResultPassCount with sum as ResultPassCount, "
            &"ResultNotExecutedCount with sum as ResultNotExecutedCount, "
        &"ResultNotImpactedCount with sum as ResultNotImpactedCount, "
    &"ResultFailCount with sum as ResultFailCount "
    &")) "
    &"/compute( "
    &"iif(ResultCount gt ResultNotExecutedCount, ((ResultPassCount add ResultNotImpactedCount) div cast(ResultCount sub ResultNotExecutedCount, Edm.Decimal)) mul 100, 0) as PassRate) "
    ,null, [Implementation="2.0",OmitValues = ODataOmitValues.Nulls,ODataVersion = 4]) 
in
    Source

Substitution strings

Each query contains the following strings that you must replace with your values. Don't include brackets {} with your substitution. For example if your organization name is "Fabrikam", replace {organization} with Fabrikam, not {Fabrikam}.  

  • {organization} - Your organization name
  • {project} - Your team project name
  • {pipelinename} - Your pipeline name. Example: Fabrikam hourly build pipeline.
  • {startdate} - The date to start your report. Format: YYYY-MM-DDZ. Example: 2021-09-01Z represents September 1, 2021. Don't enclose in quotes or brackets and use two digits for both, month and date.

Query breakdown

The following table describes each part of the query.

Query part

Description

$apply=filter(

Start filter()

Pipeline/PipelineName eq '{pipelineName}'

Return test runs for the specified pipeline

and CompletedOn/Date ge {startdate}

Return test runs on or after the specified date

and Workflow eq 'Build'

Return test runs for 'Build' workflow

)

Close filter()

/groupby(

Start groupby()

(CompletedOn/Date),

Group by the date of completion of test run

aggregate(

Start aggregate. For all the test runs matching the above filter criteria:

ResultCount with sum as ResultCount,

Count the total number of test runs as ResultCount.

ResultPassCount with sum as ResultPassCount,

Count the total number of passed test runs as ResultPassCount.

ResultNotExecutedCount with sum as ResultNotExecutedCount,

Count the total number of not executed test runs as ResultNotExecutedCount.

ResultNotImpactedCount with sum as ResultNotImpactedCount

Count the total number of not affected test runs as ResultNotImpactedCount.

ResultFailCount with sum as ResultFailCount

Count the total number of failed test runs as ResultFailCount.

))

Close aggregate() and groupby()

/compute(

Start compute()

iif(ResultCount gt ResultNotExecutedCount, ((ResultPassCount add ResultNotImpactedCount) div cast(ResultCount sub ResultNotExecutedCount, Edm.Decimal)) mul 100, 0) as PassRate

For all the days, calculate Pass rate.

)

Close compute()

Query filters

To determine available query filters, query the metadata as described in Explore the Analytics OData metadata. You can filter your queries using any of the NavigationPropertyBinding Path values listed under an EntitySet. To learn more about the data type of each value, review the metadata provided for the corresponding EntityType. Each EntitySet corresponds to the singular value for an EntityType.

For example, the EntitySet Name="TestPoints" corresponds to the EntityType Name="TestPoint". The OData metadata for the EntitySet Name="TestPoints" is as shown below for v4.0-preview. You can add filters based on any of the listed NavigationPropertyBinding Path values.

<EntitySet Name="TestPoints" EntityType="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Analytics.Model.TestPoint">
  <NavigationPropertyBinding Path="ChangedOn" Target="Dates"/>
  <NavigationPropertyBinding Path="Project" Target="Projects"/>
  <NavigationPropertyBinding Path="TestSuite" Target="TestSuites"/>
  <NavigationPropertyBinding Path="TestConfiguration" Target="TestConfigurations"/>
  <NavigationPropertyBinding Path="TestCase" Target="WorkItems"/>
  <NavigationPropertyBinding Path="Tester" Target="Users"/>
  <NavigationPropertyBinding Path="AssignedTo" Target="Users"/>
  <Annotation Term="Org.OData.Display.V1.DisplayName" String="Test Points"/>
</EntitySet>

Power BI transforms

The query returns some columns that you need to expand and flatten into its fields before you can use them in Power BI. In this example, such an entity is CompletedOn.

After closing the Advanced Editor and while remaining in the Power Query Editor, select the expand button on CompletedOn.

Expand the CompletedOn column

  1. Choose the expand button

    Power BI + OData - Choose expand button

  2. Select the checkbox "(Select All Columns)" to expand

    Power BI + OData - Select all columns

  3. The table now contains the expanded entity CompletedOn.Date.

    Power BI + OData - Expanded entity

Change column type

  1. Change the type of column PassRate to Decimal Number.

    Power BI + OData - change column type

Rename fields and query, then Close & Apply

When finished, you may choose to rename columns.

  1. Right-click a column header and select Rename...

    Power BI Rename Columns

  2. You also may want to rename the query from the default Query1, to something more meaningful.

    Power BI Rename Query

  3. Once done, choose Close & Apply to save the query and return to Power BI.

    Power BI Close & Apply

Create the report

Power BI shows you the fields you can report on.

Note

The example below assumes that no one renamed any columns.

Sample - Test Summary - Fields

For a simple report, do the following steps:

  1. Select Power BI Visualization Line and stacked column chart.
  2. Add the field "CompletedOn.Date" to Axis.
    • Right-click "CompletedOn.Date" and select "CompletedOn.Date", rather than Date Hierarchy.
  3. Add the field "PassRate" to Line values.
    • Right-click "PassRate" field and ensure Sum is selected.
  4. Add the field "ResultFailCount" to Column values.
    • Right-click "PassRate" field and ensure Sum is selected.

Your report should look like this.
