In the first step of the import process, you upload your import file. This import file must meet a number of conditions. This page will help you create a correct import file. For the example on this page, an import file was chosen for test cases. However, the following applies to all types of items.
Download the sample file
. After you’ve decided what you’re going to import, download the available sample file. These sample files are formatted correctly for the import process at Testersuite. If you build on these, your import file will always be readable. Make sure your import file contains no formatting—only plain text without color or styling. Keep this in mind when copying data from another source into your import file.
Match the first row with Testersuite field names
Put the names of the fields you want to put your data in in the first row of your import file. Testersuite will try to match the data from this first row with the field names as you defined them in the customizing. Setting this up correctly in your import file will prevent the need for manual work later in the import process.
As shown below in the example, the test case import file contains additional columns for defining the description, dates and expected result for each test step.
Product, Requirement, & Test Case Fields, and User and Group Fields
If the items you are importing need to be associated with an existing product or requirement, you can specify this in your import file. You can also specify in your import file which users or groups should be entered in the user and group fields of the new items. When importing test scenarios, this applies to test cases. Testersuite will recognize the following data in these fields:
- Product: ID or Short Description (for example, PRD25 or Application Item ABC)
- Requirement: ID or Short Description (for example, REQ27 or Functionality Requirement ABC)
- User: ID or full name (for example, USR86 or Frank van Zanten)
- Group: ID or group name (for example, UGR37 or E-Commerce testers)
- Test Case: ID or Short Description (for example, CAS37 or Test Case ABC)
