In response to your feedback, we have prioritized multiple features in Test Plans and Repos. In Test Plans, you can now use your YAML pipelines while configuring or executing automated Test Plans. In addition, we've added a new recent test results section to the test case work item to make it easier to monitor test progress without switching or navigating through test plans.
In Repos, we've added support for diffing .ipynb files in PRs to the Jupyter Notebook extension.
Check out the release notes for details.

Filtering out low-quality alerts for NuGet dependency scanning alerts
The existing dependency scanning NuGet detector reads the following files in the scanning directory: *.nuspec, *.nupkg, packages.config, or project.assets (*.csproj) files. This is known to overreport dependencies in NuGet restore scenarios which downloads all possible dependencies before resolving the final dependency graph, leading to false positives.
Based on customer feedback, we've implemented changes to the NuGet detector so that dependency scanning will only parse packages.config and project.assets (*.csproj) files. This means any components that are only found in *.nuspec or *.nupkg files will no longer create vulnerabilities and any existing alerts will be automatically closed as fixed upon your next dependency scanning run.

Azure Repos
Support for Jupyter Notebook diffing in PR
In response to customer feedback, we’ve added support for diffing .ipynb files in PRs in the Jupyter Notebook extension. Instead of parsing raw JSON, you’ll now get a side-by-side notebook view that highlights changes in code and Markdown cells. Outputs and metadata are shown in collapsible sections, and any changes in those sections are marked in bold.
Azure Test Plans
Support for YAML pipelines in Test Plans
In addition to Classic pipelines, you can now use your YAML pipelines when configuring your Test Plans or executing automated tests from Test Plans.
This request was prioritized based on the following Developer Community suggestion tickets.
- Allow YAML pipeline to use in test plan settings
- Run automated tests from Azure Test Plans using YAML pipeline
View recent test results in Test Case
We’ve added a new Recent test results section to the test case work item, making it easier to monitor test progress without switching views or navigating through test plans.
With this update, you can:
- View the top 4 most recent test results directly from the test case
- See key details at a glance: outcome, run by, configuration, and completed date
- Access the full execution history in one click for deeper analysis
These enhancements streamline test review and support requirement-based traceability by keeping execution insights close to where your test cases live. This feature will roll out gradually and become available in the coming weeks. Give it a try, and let us know via email what you think!
Reporting
Rollup columns data available in backlog
We’ve updated rollup columns to show the most recent available data. Previously, these columns could appear blank for frequently updated work items, causing confusion. You’ll also see a timestamp indicating when the data was last refreshed.
While some delay in Analytics processing is normal, these improvements aim to provide transparency and a smoother experience when working with rollup columns.
Next steps
Note
These features will roll out over the next two to three weeks. Head over to Azure DevOps and take a look.
