    Saira16,

     

    In Azure DevOps there are two ways of doing this that I have tried. 

     

    1) use a command line approach to update your settings file. Something like in the image below

    2) use  the option of giving the input to a variable at run-time. When you click deploy you can set values to your variable but that would require you to manually deploy the stage 8 times. Or add 8 different stages.

One possible way is the following.

 

1 - Make a file with the list of the environment path

2 - Load this file

function loadData() {

   // Read your file, even a single text file if you want and put the

  // list of path in an array ListOfPath

}

3 - Make a function which call all tests cases and which llop with them with the value of environment path that you iterate

function doTests() {

  for (let i=0;i<ListOfPath.length;i++) {

    currentPath = ListOfPath[i];

    myTestNumberOne();

    myTestNumberTwo();

    // and so on...

  }

}

 

If the pathes are fixed for a while, use a table in the Store of TC instead of an external file.

External file is good if you often change.

    Thanks for your solution, but i wanted to have test case selection from test items directly, as i want to give option for users to select their test case and run.

      Alright, so use Project variables and put it inside a single test item parameter.
