Importing Test Suites (Executions) from Excel File
Introduction
The feature is provided for importing test suite details which were basically exported from QMetry. To import Test Suite data, first you need to export the test suite into Excel format. You can make the required changes in this exported file and import this Excel file back into QMetry with relevant changes. The Import feature in the Test Suite module lets you import the updated file.
For example,
The organization has a large number of test suites the execution status of which get changed. So QA Manager decides to change status in the Excel file and import this modified file into QMetry. The test execution status in QMetry gets updated without much manual efforts.
Best Practice: To carry out the import process smoothly, it is recommended that the size of the file you upload should be a maximum of 10 MB.
Important Points
- Test Suite has only Re-import feature. It does not allow a fresh Import.
- It is different than Requirement / Test Case import. The re-import of test suites is limited only to change of Execution Status and Comments.
- The re-import feature is used to update bulk execution of test cases via excel.
- Any updates in the fields, other than Status or Comments, will be ignored.
You can export test suites from QMetry through Bulk Operations which provides options to Export as XLSX and Export as CSV. Refer to Exporting Test Suites for more details.
Export Options and Corresponding Import in QMetry
- Export Test Suite(s) with Steps in Multiple Row: When you re-import test suites, the changes in Test Case Step Execution Status and Test Case Step Comments will only be considered.
- Export Test Suite(s) without Steps: When you re-import test suites, the changes in Test Case Execution Status and Test Case Comment will only be considered.
