Just like Travis CI on GitHub, you can set up automated tests in Azure DevOps to run whenever you commit to master: use Pipelines, select a template, and it'll run automatically. azure-pipelines.yml
can be automagically generated or manually created to set up your tests.

Selenium IDE (as opposed to Selenium WebDriver) is very easy to set up locally: just install a Chrome Extension or Firefox Addon with a few clicks, and record actions directly in the browser. However, certain actions will not replay correctly when you use the CLI command, or require workarounds/tricks to work (in which case, you might want to use Cypress - see the other example).
This is an azure-pipelines.yml

The interface part of Cypress is very developer-friendly. Currently supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Electron, but not Internet Explorer yet as of February 2020 (in which case, you might want to use Selenium WebDriver - see the other example).
Here's an example test configuration for Azure DevOps:

Selenium WebDriver can run on Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and more. It has APIs for different programming languages, which includes JavaScript via selenium-webdriver
.

In another repo, here's an example Selenium WebDriver test (running with Node.js) that runs Firefox in headless mode, has hover/mouseover step examples, and properly fails/passes husky pre-commit hooks: https://github.com/hchiam/code-inspiration/blob/5c60bbdeb8f445a5e3c1d7431378c78e71515b51/selenium-test.js
