> Do only enterprises test their software?

Microsoft also has operating expenses. They need to bring home some income to keep the lights on.

It just strikes me as an odd thing to put on a luxury tier like that. Reiterates that quality and testing is often an afterthought rather than something everyone should include. If MS wanted the revenue they would put something the most senior higher paid developers wanted rather than the testing team.

True, but I thought the goal of Azure DevOps was to be a complete package solution. And so while all the pipelines and code and work items are stored there, it would be a pain to keep test cases in something else. And why no integration with Excel?

Isn't that what Azure is for? Use the software as a loss leader to get them using your services, which is where you make the real ongoing money.
