Migrating Test Manager artifacts to another delivery options
You can migrate Test Manager artifacts, such as test cases, test sets, and results, from a Test Manager instance to another. This applies if you migrate from a standalone instance of Test Manager to a platform-based version of Test Manager.
Note: This procedure covers only the migration of Test Manager artifacts and does not include
platform configuration, user permissions, or integration settings.
The following artifacts are included in the migration:
- Projects
- Requirements
- Test cases
- Test sets
- Test results
- Attachments
- Custom field values
Note: Even though custom field values are migrated, you must manually recreate custom field definitions in the target project.
- Ensure the Test Manager instance you are migrating from is updated to the latest version.
- Verify that the Test Manager service is enabled on the target tenant.
- For each project you want to
migrate:
- Open the Test Manager landing page on the source instance.
- From the overflow menu on the tile of the project you want to migrate, select Export Project.
- Wait for the TMH export file to become available for download, and then download it on your local machine.
Repeat this step for every project you intend to migrate.
- Open a browser and navigate to the Test Manager tenant on the target platform.
- Ensure you have selected the correct tenant for import.
- For each TMH file:
- Go to the Test Manager landing page.
- Select Import Project.
- In the Import
Project dialog:
- Upload the TMH file.
- Whether you want
to import into a new project or an existing one, perform one of
these steps:
- For a new project, provide a project name and a unique prefix.
- For an existing project, select Existing project under Target, and then select the existing project from the Project dropdown list.
- Ensure the Include automation information for test cases option is selected, if needed.
- Select Import.
The import process runs in the background. Once started, a project tile appears on the landing page, You can open the project after the import completes.
