Recent releases are detailed below. The full history since the very first version lives in the repository changelog.
2026-07-27
A brand-new visual identity, unified across every tab.TestPulse gets an identity of its own: a teal palette, Public Sans and JetBrains Mono typography, and eight tabs that are finally visually consistent. The fonts are bundled into the extension — the interface renders identically even on an air-gapped on-premises instance, with no external font download. This is a purely visual refresh: behaviour, navigation, data and Azure DevOps calls are strictly unchanged. A dark theme is prepared under the hood but not yet enabled.

Repository — generate an Azure DevOps test plan from a folder.Turn any Repository folder into real ADO plan and suites, the way Xray’s context actions do. Three destinations: a new plan (with Area and Iteration Path, optionally mirroring the folder tree into static suites), an existing plan, or an existing static suite — its suite tree loads on demand, and requirement-based suites are shown but not selectable since they populate by query. Nothing is written until you confirm a counted preview: plans and suites to create, suites reused by name, cases to add after de-duplication, duplicates skipped. The result is a snapshot, not a mirror — no later resync. This is the first Repository capability that writes to Azure DevOps, always explicit and previewed; it reuses the already-declared plan-creation permission, with no new scope.
2026-07-25
Repository, now usable at scale.
  • Auto-seed the folder tree from your Area Paths or your plan/suite hierarchy — additive and idempotent (existing folders reused by name, nothing renamed or moved), with a counted preview before any change.
  • Bulk operations: tick cases by row, “select all” bounded to the visible filtered results, then assign or remove a whole batch in a single atomic write with an exact report.
  • Readability: descendant-inclusive case counts per folder, a flat view listing every filed case with its full folder path, and the ADO-orphans node renamed “Not in any plan” to avoid confusion with “unfiled”.
  • Manual ordering: reorder cases within a folder by drag & drop or keyboard; sort by id, title or manual — a manual order is never overwritten silently.
2026-07-23
Repository — field fixes (cloud).A genuine WIQL failure now surfaces an error banner instead of a silent empty screen; the tree no longer looks like it vanished when the test-case universe read fails (the two reads are now independent); and WIT URL resolution falls back to an already-resolved base on the cloud organizations where it could otherwise fail with no recourse.
2026-07-23
Repository — reliability fixes + atomic storage.Fixes the empty tree on-premises, the re-scan error on cloud, the WIQL 403 / empty tab on cloud, and hidden read failures that now surface as an error banner. Storage moves to a single atomic document (one read, one write per change), and existing repositories are migrated automatically and without loss on first load.
2026-07-22
A new “Repository” tab.Organize and find your Azure DevOps test cases in a free, project-shared folder tree, Xray-style, without ever modifying ADO data — the Repository stores references, never copies. Create, rename, move and delete folders at any depth (native drag & drop), file a case with “Move to…” (keyboard equivalent throughout), and search by title, id or tag across the whole project. An “Unfiled” node is the set of cases not yet filed, always recomputed. Expand a case to see “Used in N location(s)” (plan › suite), and run an explicit orphan scan — never automatic — to surface cases that live in no plan. Read-only, no new permission, no new dependency.
2026-07-21
Exploratory sessions — reliable close + PDF report.Closing a session is now reliable — no more sessions stuck “active” after a restore, and Azure DevOps errors are shown clearly instead of a raw object. A finished session can be exported as a signed PDF report (charter, full timeline, created work items, embedded screenshots, tester signature on every page) in French or English; a second button exports all closed sessions of a story in a single PDF. Screenshots are embedded when possible and gracefully listed by name otherwise — the report never breaks.
2026-07-20
Work-item links open correctly on-premises.On the Test coverage and Explore tabs, external links (run, test case, bug, plan) no longer open a blank page on ADO Server 2022.1 — they now go through the host navigation service. The “Last run” column keeps a single link per row, and plan navigation stays at the Scope level, now suite-aware so it never lands on an empty plan page. No new scope, no write.
2026-07-18
Configuration-aware coverage & change detail on the work item.
  • The “Last run” now follows the story’s own configuration. When one test case covers several sibling stories that differ only by test configuration (Italy / Singapore / Korea…), the Test coverage tab no longer shows a sibling’s more recent run: it resolves the last execution from this story’s own requirement-based suite. The “Last run” links open the exact result, and each row can open the exact executed suite instead of a blank plan page. Scope options are labelled plan · configuration when a configuration is known. Stories without a requirement-based suite keep the previous behaviour.
  • “Modified after last run” now shows what changed. The badge gains a Show detail button: expanding it lists the business fields changed since that run — Acceptance criteria, Description, State, Priority, Iteration, Tags, Title — as before → after, with added wording highlighted on rich fields, a feeds depth analysis marker on Acceptance criteria / Description, and any attachments added or removed. The revision read is lazy and opt-in — nothing is fetched until you expand.
Read-only throughout.
2026-07-16
Exploratory sessions — a new “Explore” tab on the work item.Run an exploratory testing session from the user story itself: a pre-filled charter, timestamped notes, and Ctrl+V to paste a capture of any screen or application (desktop apps included). Each capture opens in an annotation editor — arrow, rectangle, text, highlighter and blur to mask sensitive data — and is attached to Azure DevOps only when you validate it. From the session, create a bug, task or test case with repro steps generated from your notes; ending the session archives it as a Task tagged exploratory-session, carrying the full report and every relation, natively queryable. Resilient by design: debounced autosave, automatic restore, non-destructive retry. Requires the new work-items write permission — an administrator must re-approve the extension after this update.
2026-07-08
Suite × configuration grid in exports: now opt-in.The grid shipped in v2.30.0 was rendered in PDF and Word exports with no way to turn it off. It is now a first-class export section, disabled by default: enable it under Settings → Report sections → Suite × configuration grid. The toggle is independent from the Results table section, and the grid still auto-hides when the plan declares no configurations — even when enabled. The Report tab, its badge and the summary alert are unchanged. Learn more.
2026-07-04
Insights pack. Four deterministic signals, each in its host screen — no new screen, no new permission.
  • Stale coverage (Requirement Drift) — requirements modified after the last run of their linked tests, with the plain-spoken counter “N Passed no longer prove anything”, the changed field, filter chips and a project option to ignore title-only changes. A “Modified after last run” badge on the work item tab, a Stale column in the PDF/Word traceability.
  • What to run today (Cockpit) — the remaining points ranked by a transparent weighted score, three fixed profiles (Strict / Standard / Onboarding) stored at project level, a per-row score breakdown and one-click execute links.
  • Suite × Configuration matrix (Report) — the full suites × configurations grid with assumed gaps, gap nudges that only appear when gaps exist, shared reversible not applicable markings, and the grid in PDF/Word exports.
  • Remaining effort (Cockpit) — tester-days from the median of observed durations (P25–P75 range, per-suite medians), working-days finish date, two simulation sliders, assumptions always displayed — an estimate, not a commitment.
2026-07-03
  • Coverage plan insights & execute links — with the Planning scan on, the Coverage Builder shows per requirement where its tests are planned (Plans column), expandable to each plan/suite with a Run in Azure DevOps link and a lazily-fetched n/m execution progress. No extra API call at table load.
  • Every application plan link now opens the execute view instead of the composition view.
  • Cockpit — readable & honest burndown — dated axis, legend and markers; the projection pauses after 14 days without execution; the progress panel always shows suites and configs; honest states replace any blank chart.
2026-07-02
  • Cockpit on-premises fixes — execution dates are now resolved on servers that don’t expose them through the newer API (with a read-only fallback), and a completed campaign shows its real finish date instead of an empty chart. Also improves the Last run column and freshness signals on-premises.
2026-07-02
  • Coverage Builder — under-counted coverage fixedTested By links are now resolved in both directions, so a story visibly linked to several test cases no longer shows as a false gap on Azure DevOps Server.
2026-07-02
  • Coverage Builder — Planning scan no longer loops on large repositories — the scan resolves planning per test case (bounded, deduplicated, with short timeouts) instead of enumerating every plan and suite of the collection. Same semantics, usable at enterprise scale.
2026-07-02
  • Link to this online documentation added to the extension footer and docs badge.
2026-07-02
  • Execution Cockpit — a new hub tab: a per-plan execution burndown in test points (actual from daily snapshots, rebased ideal, pace projection), an honestly tracked moving perimeter, behind-pace suites/configs, a local target when the plan has no end date, and a closing nudge for stalled campaigns. Read-only; snapshots live in Extension Data — nothing leaves your tenant.
2026-07-02
  • Test coverage tab — navigable — all five columns sort (persisted per work item), the Last run cell links to the run, and a scoped plan links straight to its execution view.
2026-07-01
  • Test coverage tab — the scope selector shows whenever the story is covered, and each test case ID is clickable.
2026-07-01
  • On-premises fix — results on the Test coverage tab resolved correctly on Azure DevOps Server (tests no longer all shown as Not run).
2026-07-01
  • Execution verdict banner on the Test coverage tab — Passed / Not OK / Not Run / Not covered, with strict precedence, recomputed instantly with the scope.
2026-07-01
  • Coverage scope selector on the Test coverage tab — frame the pass/fail on Latest (all plans) or a specific plan, remembered per work item, switched in memory with no new read.
Report generation and the five exports, Epic→US→TC→Bug traceability, the Quality Gate (A–E grade, GO/NO-GO verdict, profiles and risk-based weighting), the dashboard widget, Requirement Drift, the Coverage Builder, coverage depth, imports, notifications, scheduling and much more — see the full changelog on GitHub.
