In Azure DevOps, is it possible to add a Test Plan with all Test Suites to a build pipeline (YAML) automatically?

I use Azure DevOps Test Plans and Test Suites to execute automated tests in a YAML build pipeline. For each release I create a new Test Plan with new Test Suites. Actual I search manually for IDs of Test Plan and Test Suites and copy them to the YAML file.

- task: VSTest@2
  displayName: 'Run automated UI tests'
  inputs:
   testSelector: testPlan
   testPlan: 585
   testSuite: 586,929,930,680,683,684,685,931,681,686,687,688,767,682,689,690,691,768,692
   testConfiguration: 2
   uiTests: true
   testRunTitle: 'Automated UI testing'

Is there a possibility to do that automatically? Or a possibility to reduce the manual effort e.g. just change the Test Plan ID in Pipeline and all Test Suites are automatically included?

No sorry, I tried to change the YAML file by a CmdLine@2 task before. But it seems that when the pipeline was started, changes in the YAML file doesn’t have any effect. – mkr
@mkr How about using rest api in a powershell task? You can view my answer to see if it is helpful to you. – Hugh Lin

The YAML file is in your repository. So you can edit this file through REST API. Here is an example: Update a file. In this case, you may have some template of your YAML file, identify Test Plan ID and Test Suites (Get a test suites for plan), then update the YAML file with new IDs.

You can get the test suites for the test plan through the script in a Powershell task, and then assign the obtained result to a variable.

Use Test Suites - Get Test Suites For Plan rest api:

GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/testplan/Plans/{planId}/suites?api-version=6.0-preview.1

Sample script:

$url = 'https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/testplan/Plans/{planId}/suites?api-version=6.0-preview.1';

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers @{Authorization = "Bearer $env:SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN"} -Method Get

$testSuites = $response

Write-Host "results = $($testSuites | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 100)"

In VSTest task:

- task: VSTest@2
  displayName: 'Run automated UI tests'
  inputs:
   testSelector: testPlan
   testPlan: 585
   testSuite: $(testSuites)
   testConfiguration: 2
   uiTests: true
   testRunTitle: 'Automated UI testing'
