Running Selenium tests from build

Question

We are using Selenium to run tests on our Azure site. We write the tests in C# and run them using the Visual Studio Unit Testing Framework. The tests run fine locally (using the test explorer) but we would like to run the tests automatically.

We are currently using the TF Service to build and deploy our project and it would be most convenient to be able to run the Selenium tests form there. We have tried this but the test fail (presumably due to firewall restrictions). 

Is there any way to allow the tests to run (if not now is there any plans for such a feature in the future)?

I am afraid that customizations of the hosted build machine in TF Service are not supported at this time. In order to complete your tests you will need to configure your own on-prem build controller (either on a machine in your office, or on an Azure VM).

Is something similar planned for Git repositories? Currently have no option to run selenium tests with Firefox.

Answer 5

@Trevor: Currently on-prem build controller is not working with Git repositories. Will that be possible soon?
