Release gates allow controlled automatic collection of health signals from external services,
and promote the release when all signals indicate a healthy deployment.

In this example, we’ll add a release gate to validate code coverage on a module before deployment.

Add gate to the release pipeline

1. Once the extension is installed on your account, you can add the new gate to your release pipelines.

2. Enable Gates and add Code Coverage to the gate.

 

3. The release would wait for the cumulative code coverage for the chosen module  to reach the threshold before proceeding to the next stage. Configure the gate as shown below.

 

Task Inputs

Parameters	Description
Artifact	Select the build artifact
Module	(Case sensitive) Name of the module or dll to evaluate
Code Coverage Type	Line: to evaluate the number of lines not covered
	Block: to evaluate the number of blocks not covered
Coverage Threshold	Set the maximum threshold for line or blocks to pass the gate

 

Gates in action

When the number of lines not covered is less than the threshold, the gate is passed.

Example : Lines not covered – 37 Threshold – 38 – Pass

When the number of lines not covered is greater than the threshold, the gate is failed.

Example: Lines not covered – 37 – Threshold – 36 – Pass
