Question

Your team runs a .NET solution in an Azure Pipelines YAML pipeline. The build step compiles and runs unit tests using the 'dotnet test' command, and the tests execute successfully. However, the Azure DevOps 'Tests' tab shows no test results after the pipeline completes, and there is no test summary on the run page. You need the test outcomes (pass/fail counts, durations, and failed-test details) to appear in the pipeline run so they can be tracked over time. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Add a PublishTestResults@2 task configured to consume the VSTest (.trx) results produced by 'dotnet test --logger trx', pointing it at the generated results file.

Answer

Add a PublishBuildArtifacts@1 task to upload the test output directory as a pipeline artifact.

Answer

Add a PublishCodeCoverageResults@2 task pointing at the Cobertura coverage report generated during the test run.

Answer

Enable the 'continueOnError' setting on the test step so the pipeline surfaces test results even when tests fail.
