The “Test coverage” tab doesn’t appear on a work item

A brand-new contribution can take a short while for Azure DevOps to ingest. Do a cold refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R) on the work item. The tab is auto-placed and mounts on click — see The Test coverage tab.

Update to the latest version — the plan/suite resolution reads outcomes correctly on Azure DevOps Server.

Creating a plan returns a 403

This is an area-path permission, not a scope. Pick an area path where you have Manage test plans — see Create the plan.

Notifications are blocked on-premises

A browser CORS limit. TestPulse shows the JSON payload so you can copy-paste it into Teams / Slack — see Notifications.

The widget reads the latest published snapshot, not live data. Publish a fresh report with Share to project — see Quality overview widget.

Storage is nearly full

History is bounded by an Extension Data quota. Delete old reports (the storage indicator warns at 80%) — see Report history.

Permissions & scopes

Access and the 403.
