A QA application was built to sit alongside Power Platform Pipelines, giving teams a structured way to track testing sessions, reviewers, outcomes, and sign-off across deployment stages.
Power Platform Pipelines introduced a better way to promote solutions across environments, but early tooling did not provide a strong QA tracking layer. Testing evidence often lived in spreadsheets, emails, and shared documents outside the deployment process.
The app was designed to connect QA activity back to pipeline stages so teams could see what had been tested, by whom, with what result, and whether sign-off was complete.
A model-driven app was built on top of the Pipelines data model to create structured QA sessions linked to environments, deployment runs, and stages.
QA sessions are created against deployment runs, environments, solution versions, and pipeline stages.
Users define test cases, assign reviewers, and log pass, fail, blocked, and notes.
Progress is visible across Dev to UAT and UAT to Production transitions.
Reviewers can sign off completed sessions with auditable decision history.
Dashboards show QA status, pass rates, open issues, and sign-off history.
The app follows established pipeline and environment management patterns from the Power Platform ecosystem.
Testing activity is captured against the deployment context instead of detached spreadsheets.
Teams can see whether testing is complete before a solution moves forward.
Multiple reviewers work from the same session and evidence set.
The tool was shared as a reusable sample for other practitioners.
The concept was featured in a Microsoft community setting.
The app demonstrated how Pipelines could be extended with governance tooling.
