To view the progress of of tests plans in Azure DevOps, navigate to your project and click Test Plans, then select and expand a Test Suite to see the all test cases along with details such as test case id, tester, configuration and outcome of the last test execution.(see Figure 1 below). If you have run a test case multiple times, the outcome that is displayed against each test case, such as Passed or Failed, is the result of the last run of that test case. This means that if you accidently run a test that is already passed, you may not want to keep the results of that run. To view all test runs, click Test Plans → Runs. Currently, it is not possible to delete a test run from Azure DevOps GUI but this can be done using Azure DevOps REST API. Below is a C# console application to delete test runs from an Azure DevOps project.
This program will first list all the test runs and then prompts the user to input a Run Id to delete. The user can either input a Test Run ID or simply press the ENTER key to exit the program.
Here is the full program source code.
