Installation
Prerequisites
- Azure DevOps Services (cloud). ADO Server on-premises support is coming in 2027.
- ADO Basic licence — no Test Plans licence required for manual test push.
- A browser with access to the Visual Studio Marketplace.
You do not need an LLM endpoint to install. The heuristic INVEST score works offline immediately after installation.
Steps
1
Install from the Marketplace
Open the TestForge Marketplace page, click Get it free, select your organisation, and confirm.
2
Verify the installation
Open any User Story work item. Click the TestForge tab. You should see a heuristic INVEST score within one second — no configuration needed.
3
Configure your LLM provider
Open the TestForge Hub (Boards → TestForge), go to the Configuration tab, enter your endpoint and API key, click Test connection, then Save.
