Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Azure Test Plans is an implementation of the SCRUM method to give follow-up of software development (DevOps). We can design the test plans in graphic mode and then Azure TP displays each activity in the backlog divided into different phases. It documents what errors are occurred in each backlog phase to do corrections and rerun the tests until you get a success.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works well for express test case implementation with a short duration. You can define the tests for two weeks and run the activities documenting the software errors and fixes to control the effectiveness of DevOps. The graphic reports give the idea of the backlog phases advances and errors detected. It needs improvement if you have a large test project and need to design financial budgets and control over costs of the test plan.
