Configure DevOps Center Suite Assignments

Recommends which existing test suites to run for a change, and manages how suites are assigned and mapped to pipeline stages. These operations share the same suite-stage metadata: a recommendation surfaces relevant suites and flags gaps, and those gaps lead directly into assignment.

API version: All DevOps testing system calls target Salesforce API v67.0 (minimum required).

Important: All DevOps Center data lives in the Salesforce org — NOT the local repo. Never search the filesystem for suite configuration. Always query the org with sf data query or sf api request rest.


Step 1 — Run prerequisites first (always)

Run the prerequisite checks in references/prerequisite-checks.md before any query or system call. On any failure, surface the plain-language message and stop.

  • Mode A (recommend): Prerequisites 1–4 (org login, plugin, DevOps Center org auth, pipeline identified). No stage required — recommendation reads the pipeline-level Review trigger.
  • Modes B–D (assign/map/classes): Prerequisites 1–4 and Prerequisite 5 (stage). You need doce-org-alias, pipelineId, and stageId.

Step 2 — Select the mode

If the user wants to…ModeFollow
Know which suites to run for a commit/diff, or what covers their changesA — Recommend suitesreferences/recommendation-logic.md
Assign one suite to a stage as a one-offB — Assign a single suitereferences/suite-assignment-modes.md
Bulk-map multiple suites to a stage as a testing strategyC — Map multiple suitesreferences/suite-assignment-modes.md
Add/remove individual test classes within a suite assignmentD — Add/remove classesreferences/suite-assignment-modes.md

Mode A is pure reasoning (no writes). Modes B–D mutate org state via the same testSuiteStages endpoint (references/api-endpoint.md).

How A feeds B–D: When recommendation flags a relevant suite that is not assigned to the stage, that gap is the input to Mode B/C. When it flags a new method with no suite coverage, direct the developer to author tests manually (v1 constraint — never suggest generating tests here).


Step 3 — Governance & confirmation (Modes B–D)

Modes B–D must confirm before any write:

  • Mode B — single confirmation prompt naming the suite, stage, and event.
  • Mode C — a mandatory impact-preview table (Suite / Stage / Event / Action) before the confirmation gate.
  • Mode D — re-present the final test list before confirming. Rejected tests must be EXCLUDED from the payload. If tests were modified during review, re-present the final list before requesting confirmation. Never call without explicit approval.

Do not call the API until the user gives an affirmative response. If the user declines, stop without writing. Full wording for each gate is in references/suite-assignment-modes.md.

Mode A (recommendation) makes no writes and needs no confirmation gate.


Step 4 — Execute and report

Follow the chosen reference file:

  • references/recommendation-logic.md — Mode A: diff classification, provider matching, ranking, gap flagging, output format.
  • references/suite-assignment-modes.md — Modes B–D: inputs, confirmation wording, success messages.
  • references/api-endpoint.md — the shared testSuiteStages POST payload schema (Modes B–D).
  • references/error-handling.md — status-code → plain-language tables.

Never expose raw API errors, stack traces, or JSON to the user.
