Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question
Your organization uses Azure Boards for backlog management and GitHub Enterprise Cloud for source control. You need to implement GitHub Flow so that every commit pushed to the main branch is automatically linked to the corresponding Azure Boards work item, providing end-to-end traceability without requiring developers to open Azure Boards. Which action should you take to meet this requirement?
Add a custom GitHub Action that parses commits after each push and updates Azure Boards work items through the Boards API.
Enable repository-level branch protection in Azure Boards and configure it to require an associated work item on every push.
Install the Azure Boards app for the GitHub organization and instruct developers to include the pattern AB# in commit messages or pull-request titles.
Create a client-side Git hook that calls the Azure DevOps REST API to associate each commit with the selected work item.
Installing the Azure Boards app for the GitHub organization establishes a secure connection between GitHub and Azure DevOps. When developers include the shorthand AB# in a commit message or pull-request title or description, the integration automatically creates links and updates the work item's development section. Other options either require custom scripting, rely on features that do not exist, or add unnecessary maintenance overhead while still lacking the automatic linking supported natively by the Azure Boards app.
