Exporting Test Suites

Introduction

QMetry allows its users to export test suite details out of QMetry in Excel file format and save the file on to the computer hard drive. Users with User Role that has “Export” rights assigned for the Test Suite module can export test suites. 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 suites, the Export option will appear in disabled mode for that user.
