[FIXED] How to run automation scripts in particular order in CI pipeline with Azure DevOps?

Issue

I'm trying to run my selenium automation scripts in CI pipeline using Azure DevOps. I have configured Visual Studio test task to run my automation scripts by selecting test plan option.

Now it runs all my automation scripts which associates with test cases. But it does not take the order define in the test case.

How do we define the order to run test cases? Currently it is not running according to test cases order.

For Example: I have test cases: Test A, test B, test C. I want to run test in order B,C,A.

Solution

You may create a main test and use any order, something similar was considered here: Controlling execution order of unit tests in Visual Studio

[FIXED] How do I check "no exception occurred" in my MSTest unit test?

Issue

I'm writing a unit test for this one method which returns "void". I would like to have one case that the test passes when there is no exception thrown. How do I write that in C#?

Assert.IsTrue(????)

(My guess is this is how I should check, but what goes into "???")

I hope my question is clear enough.

Solution

Your unit test will fail anyway if an exception is thrown - you don't need to put in a special assert.

This is one of the few scenarios where you will see unit tests with no assertions at all - the test will implicitly fail if an exception is raised.

However, if you really did want to write an assertion for this - perhaps to be able to catch the exception and report "expected no exception but got this...", you can do this:

[Test]
public void TestNoExceptionIsThrownByMethodUnderTest()
{
    var myObject = new MyObject();

    try
    {
        myObject.MethodUnderTest();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Assert.Fail("Expected no exception, but got: " + ex.Message);
    }
}

(the above is an example for NUnit, but the same holds true for MSTest)
