Shift-Left API Automation Integration brings API test run packs from the Total Shift Left platform directly into Azure Pipelines. Teams can trigger governed test executions, wait for completion, enforce quality gates, and surface results in standard DevOps workflows—without leaving Azure DevOps.

Capabilities

Orchestrated execution — Authenticate securely, start a test run pack, and poll until completion with configurable timeouts.
Quality gates — Apply pass-rate thresholds and error handling policies to align pipeline outcomes with your release standards.
Results for Azure DevOps — Emit structured XML test results for Azure Pipelines Publish Test Results, plus optional JSON summaries for auditing and downstream tooling.
Enterprise-ready — Supports multi-tenant deployments via tenant-scoped configuration where applicable.

Integration

The task uses the ShiftLeft public API (/api/v1): login, run pack execution, status, and detailed results—so pipelines stay the single place operators trigger and observe API validation tied to your environments.

Using the task

Store API credentials in a variable group or secret pipeline variables (never commit passwords).
Add the task to your YAML using publisher totalshiftleft and task id shiftleft-api-integration-task (major version 1 after installing the extension).

variables:
  - group: shiftleft-secrets   # e.g. ShiftLeftEmail, ShiftLeftPassword (secret)

steps:
  - task: totalshiftleft.shiftleft-api-integration-task@1

      apiEmail: '$(ShiftLeftEmail)'
      apiPassword: '$(ShiftLeftPassword)'
      packId: 'your_pack_id'
      writeTestResultsXml: true
      testResultsXmlPath: 'shiftleft-test-pack-results.xml'

  - task: PublishTestResults@2
    displayName: Publish results
    condition: succeededOrFailed()
