Overview of this book

Developing applications for the cloud involves changing development methodologies and procedures. Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes are a must today, but are often difficult to implement and adopt. Azure DevOps is a Microsoft Azure cloud service that enhances your application development life cycle and enables DevOps capabilities. Starting with a comprehensive product overview, this book helps you to understand Azure DevOps and apply DevOps techniques to your development projects. You'll find out how to adopt DevOps techniques for your development processes by using built-in Azure DevOps tools. Throughout the course of this book, you'll also discover how to manage a project with the help of project management techniques such as Agile and Scrum, and then progress toward development aspects such as source code management, build pipelines, code testing and artifacts, release pipelines, and GitHub integration. As you learn how to implement DevOps practices, this book will also provide you with real-world examples and scenarios of DevOps adoption. By the end of this DevOps book, you will have learned how to adopt and implement Azure DevOps features in your real-world development processes.

Running unit tests in a build pipeline

Our Parts Unlimited test project already has unit tests created. So, this is a good pick for this demo. First, we are going to look at the application and the tests that are created. Therefore, we have to clone the repository to our local filesystem and open the solution in Visual Studio.

Downloading the source code

We are going to create unit tests for the web application for Parts Unlimited. First, we need to clone the repository from Azure DevOps to our filesystem. This will allow us to add the unit tests to it using Visual Studio Code. Therefore, we must take the following steps:

  1. Open a web browser and navigate to https://dev.azure.com/.
  2. Log in with your Microsoft account and select the Parts.Unlimited project. Then, from the left menu, select Repos. This will let you navigate to the source code of the project.
  3. From the top-right menu, select Clone:
