The TestPulse — Quality overview widget surfaces your quality data directly on an Azure DevOps dashboard, read-only. It reads the latest report published to the project (see Share to project in History) and never calls the Test Plans API — so it renders even for Stakeholder accounts that can see dashboards but not Test Plans.

1

4

Size & save

Resize the tile to 1×1, 2×1 or 2×2 — the content adapts — and save.
Clicking the widget opens the TestPulse hub.

​
What it shows

All values come from the published snapshot (no live computation):
  • A pass-rate donut with passed / failed / blocked / not-run counters.
  • A trend sparkline of the pass rate across the plan’s published reports (needs at least 2 to draw).
  • A requirements coverage bar.
A “published ” label makes clear the data is the last publication, not real time. Empty, error, missing-traceability and single-point-trend states all degrade gracefully — never a raw error.
