Use the Test & Feedback extension in Azure DevOps for collecting stakeholder feedback. Recipients have two response options:
- From the link in the Request feedback email (quick for one-off responses).
- From the Test & Feedback extension—useful when you want to manage multiple requests or when you're using Azure DevOps Services (cloud).
| Category | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Project access | Project member |
| To request feedback | On Azure DevOps Server, the work-item Request feedback action lets users with Basic access send requests. In Azure DevOps Services (cloud) this menu action isn't available—use email/chat or the Test & Feedback extension. |
| To provide feedback | Stakeholders respond using the Test & Feedback extension. |
| Extensions | Test & Feedback extension |
Follow these steps to send a feedback request from a work item:
-
Open the work item form for the user story or feature you want feedback on.
-
Try to open the shortcut menu (ellipsis …) and select Request feedback.
- If the Request feedback action is visible, continue with the workflow.
- If you don't see Request feedback (expected in Azure DevOps Services/cloud), use one of the alternatives.
-
Enter or select one or more stakeholder names, and optionally add instructions or notes for meaningful feedback.
-
Select Send. Azure DevOps sends a Request feedback email to the selected stakeholders.
Teams can request feedback from other team members, including users with Basic access. Add their names to the request form so a Request feedback email gets sent to them. For more information about Basic user responses, see Can users with Basic access respond to feedback requests.
