Exporting Test Cases

Introduction

QMetry allows its users to export test cases out of QMetry in an Excel file. Users can save the file onto the computer drive. The Export button is available on the toolbar of the grid pane. Users with the “Export” right for the Test Case module can export test cases. Role based user access control for the module is managed under User Management > Roles. If the role assigned to the user does not have rights to export test cases, the Export option will appear in the disabled mode for that user.

You can export details of test assets in XLSX, CSV and PDF.
