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.

ADO permission scopes

Your API key is stored in the ADO Extension Data Service, scoped to your user account. TestForge never transmits it to our servers.
