Azure Boards upgrade steps
After upgrading from Acunetix to Invicti Platform, we carry over your Azure Boards integration with additional validation to ensure compatibility with Azure Boards' Work Item model.
Invicti Platform retrieves real Work Item field definitions and automatically highlights required fields, improving accuracy compared to Acunetix.
1. Key differences from Acunetix
This section lists key differences between Acunetix and Invicti Platform.
Field configuration behavior
In Acunetix: You entered Azure Boards work item fields as free text.
In Invicti Platform:
- We retrieve the actual Work Item fields directly from Azure Boards
- Required fields are automatically shown and validated
- We filter out invalid or removed fields during the upgrade
2. What to review after the upgrade
Although our upgrade process handles required fields automatically, we recommend reviewing your Azure Boards integration once, especially if your Azure Boards project contains:
- Custom Work item types
- Organization-specific required fields
- Recently added or modified fields
This ensures everything aligns with your Azure Boards schema and prevents ticket creation interruptions.
3. Recommended actions
- Open your Azure Boards integration settings in Invicti Platform
- Confirm the fields match your organization's Work Item configuration
- You usually won't need major changes unless you've modified fields on the Azure Boards side
4. Summary
- Acunetix: Allowed free-text field definitions
- Invicti Platform: Synchronizes real Azure Boards fields
- We automatically enforce required fields during the upgrade
- A quick review ensures compatibility with your Work Item schema
