I have a web api (REST) project that is written in .NET and I have written a few webtests (.webtest) that test those apis.

While those tests run fine locally from visual studio, I want to integrate them into my VSTS (Azure Devops) build pipeline, so as to identify and breaking changes that could break any of those APIs.

I am not able to find any task in build pipeline which can run the webtests as part of build. I see option for running unit-tests though.

So, wanted to check what am I missing here.

You might want to find an alternative approach as this link implies it has been deprecated.

Visual Studio web performance test (.webtest file) is tied to the load test functionality and is deprecated. Some customers have used .webtest for other purposes such as running API tests, even though it was not designed for that purpose. Many API testing alternatives are available in the market. SOAP UI is a free, open source alternative to consider, and is also available as a commercial option with additional capabilities.

You could try to use cmd task command line to run MSTest with arguments.

  1. Add Run Command Line step/task to execute MSTest command enter image description here
  2. Add Publish Test Results step/task

enter image description here

On the other hand, you can do test in Unit Test too, just send the request and check the response, related thread.

Also as Matt mentioned, since Visual Studio web performance tests (.webtest files) are tied to the load test functionality and is also deprecated. You could take a look at this blog here: Cloud-based load testing service end of life
