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.
