Export and Import of Test Steps

Export

When Test Cases are exported in CSV format, the test step data gets exported along with Test Cases in a Pivot Table format, like

Import

While importing this data into a project:

• If TC - Id OR TC - External Id is not mapped, then
  
  • the Test Steps cannot be imported.
• If TC-ID/External-ID is mapped and a TC-ID/External-ID already exist, and

• • if TS-ID is mapped and

    • if TS-ID column is left blank in the CSV file and other fields have been entered, then a new Test Step(TS-ID) is created against this TC-ID/External-ID.

    • if TS-ID already exists, then the data is updated.

    • if TS-ID doesn’t exists, then an error will be generated.

  • if TS-ID is not mapped,

  • • the existing test steps will be retained and new test steps (specified in the CSV file) will be created.
      

• Sequence number may not be mapped to the target, it will be auto-generated.
• Rest of the fields may or may not be mapped, depending on the user's choice. These include
  
  • TS - Action
  • TS - Expected Results
  • TS - Custom Fields
