Azure DevOps Integration — Validate work items before release

Azure DevOps manages your work items.
Sopa ensures the code in your pull requests actually delivers what those work items specify.

The problem

In many teams, Azure DevOps work items are linked to pull requests, but no one checks if the implementation truly meets the requirements.
This leads to:

• Missing functionality in production.
• Delays caused by rework.
• QA cycles spent catching issues that could’ve been prevented.

The solution with Sopa

With the Azure DevOps integration, Sopa:

• Reads the linked work item details and acceptance criteria.
• Compares them against the code changes in the pull request.
• Detects missing or incorrect functionality.
• Posts comments directly in the PR for quick fixes.

This means Azure DevOps work items are validated before release — not after.

Real example

A logistics software team connected Sopa with Azure DevOps and Bitbucket.
Sopa flagged that a “bulk order export” feature was missing CSV formatting as required in the work item.
They fixed it in hours, avoiding customer frustration.
