ADO plans

Read Azure DevOps test plans, test suites and test cases. It’s listed under the test management category in the toolkit type picker.

Prerequisites

• An account at ADO plans with permission to issue an API token or credential, saved in Elitea as a ado credential (/credentials/create-credential/<type>).
• Or skip the saved credential and paste token directly into the toolkit’s own settings (inline auth).
• If you plan to index content for retrieval: an embedding model, configured under AI providers.

Connect the toolkit

1. Open the toolkit type picker

   In the left navigation, open Toolkits, then select New. Filter the type picker by the test management category, or search for “ADO plans”.

2. Pick or create a credential

   Under the credential field, choose an existing ado credential, or select Create credential to add one without leaving the form.

3. Add indexing settings (optional)

   If you plan to index this source, set an embedding model. Indexes are kept in the platform’s vector store, so there is no vector-storage setting to pick. Leave it empty to use the toolkit without indexing.

4. Save

   Name the toolkit and select Create. It’s now available to attach to agents, pipelines and conversations in this project.

Common issues

Note

The Indexes tab only appears when the configured worker can run this type’s index_data tool; if the worker can’t, the tab is hidden and shows the worker’s refusal message. index_data itself can’t be run from the Test tools pane — use the Indexes tab.

Note

The credential form for ADO plans supports Check connection — use it before saving to confirm Elitea can reach ADO plans with these details, instead of discovering an auth problem from a failed tool call later.
