We can import the test cases with their associated steps from excel to TFS.
Is there any way or tool for exporting the test cases with their associated detail steps into excel?
Currently i am using TFS 2015.
You can query the test case work items and select Steps Column in VS, then export the query to Excel directly. But you need to reorganize the format of the Steps:
You can export test artifacts data on TFS Web Access so that they can either be sent via email or printed. The Export capability allows you to customize what data you want to export. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd380763.aspx
For exporting to Excel, you can choose the Print or Email option from
the Export dialog box, then choose Cancel from the Print dialog box.
The data for the report is displayed. Select the test cases and
associated steps, then you can copy and paste it into a Excel if you
want. All the formatting in the report is retained.

I'm trying to import some work items from TFS2013 to Jira. Jira seems to only support importing from CSV in this scenario.
I've connected Excel up to TFS and run a query to get all the data items for the work items I need, but the Choose columns dialogue in Excel is not giving me the option to export the Analysis and Comments section of the work items.
I'd be happy to simply have all the history items concatenated together into one big text field. I don't really need them to be separate items in Jira's history tough that would be nice if possible.
You're right that the Excel provider is not able to export comments. But you can try https://tfsworkitemsexporter.codeplex.com/ This tool can export comments.
For a full replication JIRA <-> TFS have a look at https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.spartez.jira.plugins.bork.tfs4jira/cloud/overview
I want to create result in TFS through an excel sheet. I need to have different iterations and my excel contains individual step results in each and every row.
This is related to offline test execution, however this feature is still in planning process. Refer to this link for details: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/330519-team-services/suggestions/3596154-offline-test-execution-allow-users-to-execute-tes
For now, I would recommend you to use Microsoft Test Manager to run the test. If you do want to do it via excel, you could save the test result in excel and then develop some code to read the test result information in the excel file and import the test result via TFS Test Management API. For the instruction about TFS TestManagement API, check this link and this link for details.
I would like to export test cases (including steps & expected results) from Rally to TFS.
As of now, i see we can export only test cases using plug in or Rally-TFS connector.
The best way to export Test Cases with their Steps and Expected Results would be using the Excel Add-In. You could select Test Case Step as the query type then the following columns should get you the information you are looking for:
CreationDate,ExpectedResult,Input,StepIndex,TestCase,TestCase.FormattedID,TestCase.Type,TestCase.WorkProduct
You can find more information on the Excel Add-In here:
http://help.rallydev.com/rally-add-excel
As for importing them into TFS, please note that the TFS connector does not provide support for Test Case Steps.
I have a large number of test cases in Testlink and I need to export them into either OpenOffice Calc or Writer (and then possibly reimport them), including test steps.
Currently Testlink only supports XML for exports and imports of test cases. To import an XML file into OpenOffice and export it, specifically formatted XSLT files are needed. To create them appears to be rather time consuming if you are not an XML expert.
Did anybody do this already? Does anybody have examples or working XSLT files for Testlink test cases, for Calc or Writer?
My bad. It turns out that it is very easily possible to export test cases with test steps:
Choose Test Reports in the topmost menu of Testlink.
On the Reports and Metrics page, select OpenOffice Writer (or MS Word) as the Report Format.
On the left side, select Test Plan Report. On the right side, select the checkbox Test Scenario (you don't need Test Summary or any other options). Below, click on the test case folder that you wish to export.
You get the document for download. (Note: may require some formatting.)
Alternatively, it is possible to choose HTML in step 2 as the report format and save the frame.
While it is possible to select OpenOffice Calc/MS Excel, there doesn't seem to be a way to include test case steps.
Can you change the test report subjects?
Choose Test Reports in the topmost menu of Testlink.
On the Reports and Metrics page, select OpenOffice Writer (or MS Word) as the Report Format.
On the left side, select Test Plan Report. On the right side, select the checkbox Test Scenario (you don't need Test Summary or
any other options). Below, click on the test case folder that you wish to export.
You get the document for download.
Can i change the download file name?
When i choose the testcase folder, i can download the test report(MS word). but file name is "Test Project name.doc". so I want to change the file name from "Test project name" to "Test Plan name"
I am in the process of evaluating JIRA as a replacement to TFS 2010.
I know that JIRA has the capability to import from CSV but cannot figure out how to export fields like the History fields from TFS to a spreadsheet.
Any recommendations / tools would be highly appreciated.
I don't think there is an easy way to do what you want.
I am thinking you would need to make your own tool using the TFS API. I don't know if JIRA has an API to do the inserting, but TFS's api is fairly good. You could easily get that data out.
For "How To" on the TFS API I usually look to Shai Raitan's TFS API blog posts.
I do custom migrations from all sorts of databases (ClearQuest, TeamTrack, Remedy) into JIRA. It takes about a week to do the job so it isn't cheap but if you have a lot of data and want more information than the standard importers provide, it's one way to go. The CSV importer probably won't do what you want.
Have a look at Appfire's Enterprise Migration Utility. It migrates TFS to JIRA, amongst others.
Simple enough, create a Query that has all your work items, click on the icon to open in Excel,
Save the Excel file as CSV.
done.
Here's what worked for me (sorry about the formatting; it was a .docx):
For every TFS Server:
Create a query by using Iteration Path for all Product Backlog Items and Bugs for every Product and/or every Scrum Team.
A single query can be used for all projects/products by altering the iteration path(s)
Format the results in TFS by selecting the appropriate columns.
Save the query, run it, and open it in Excel an .xlsx file with the word RAW included (for example, XXXX_ALL_WIs_RAW.xlsx).
Using the same file, select Save As… to create and save an excel .csv file.
Note that not all columns/mappings will be used on all projects. Delete unnecessary columns, and change column headings as needed.
The TFS columns/fields, and the Jira fields (some custom) to which they are mapped, for me were:
Iteration Path maps to Scrum Team
ID maps to Legacy ID
Work Item Type maps to Issue Type
Title maps to Summary
Description maps to Description
Acceptance Criteria maps to Acceptance Criteria
Assigned To maps to Assignee (Users must exist in Jira for this to work!)
SubCategory maps to Component/s
Effort maps to Story Points
Severity maps to Priority
Case Number maps to Case ID
Client Name maps to Customer
Platform maps to Environment
Once the .csv has been modified, use File/Check for Issues/Inspect document to determine if modification are required so the inspection results yield no issues.
Save the clean .csv as _CLEAN (for example, XXXX_ALL_WIs_CLEAN.csv).
Rename spreadsheet headers for import to appropriate Jira field names.
Field modifications:
If the work item Acceptance Criteria field has nothing in it, enter “No Acceptance Criteria in the original TFS work item” on the csv.
If the work item Description field has nothing in it, enter “No Description in the original TFS work item” on the csv.
Bugs – Severity must be converted to a number (1 through 5).
Change column headings on the .csv to match the Jira field names, as defined above in 2d.
Clean/Inspect the .csv
If necessary, increase the advanced setting jira.bulk.create.max.issues.per.import in Jira appropriately to handle the number of items being imported (there is a 250 item import limit by default).
In Jira, at the Site Admin Level – Create new Jira projects based on individual products (NOT projects!)
Create or add users that will be used in the various projects.
In Jira, at the Site Admin level – Create Custom Fields as needed
Associate new and existing custom fields to appropriate project screens, and update.
In Jira, at the Site Admin Level – Re-index DB
At the Project level – Create components for the product by using subcategory from TFS. (Can be assigned to Component Lead)
You should now be ready for import into Jira.
Test Case Migration from TFS to Jira/Zephyr if you need it:
Test case migration is a 2-part process.
The first part will get the test cases from TFS, and create and format an Excel spreadsheet containing the data that will then be imported into Jira (Zephyr).
The second part of the process will use a Java tool to import the data from the spreadsheet created in Part 1 of the process.
Part 1 – Test Case Export
Install TCExport (Used to create the Excel spreadsheet that will be used to import the test cases into Zephyr).
When mapping fields while using the .jar tool, use the Excel column letter.
Part 2 – Test Case Import
1. Download the import utility zfj-importer-utility-0.38.jar
This utility can be run by double-clicking the file in most environments. To launch the utility double-click the .jar file or run through the command prompt as: java -jar .
