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
TC - Id | .... ... | TS - Id | TS - Sequence Number | TS - Action | TS - Expected Results | TS - Custom Field 1 | TS - Custom Field 2 |
---|
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
