Migrate Test Suites with TFS Integration Platform possible?

Question

I just did a test-migration from one team project to another.

Test cases, Shared Steps (other WorkItems as well) and Sourcecode is migrated. The test-suites aren't.

Is there any setting to enable migration of test-suites?

Thanks, Johannes

 

P.S.: Scenario we need this for:

We are starting to define out Test-cases, but our final TFS team-project does not exist yet (we will use a customized version of the CMMI template, but that customization isn't ready yet). If Test-Suites (and action-recordings of the testcases - refer to my other topic) are lost during migration lots of work would be gone.

Hi Johanes,

 

I'm interested to know how you did your migration. I'm looking to do the same thing. We originally setup our test cases in a beta version of TFS 2010 and are now looking to migrate to our production TFS 2010.

Hi Chris,

I didn't do it yet. I tried to use Test-Case-Migrator Plus (http://tcmimport.codeplex.com/), but unfortunately it does not migrate the Test-Suites, nor the action recordings.

If you can, migrate the complete Beta-TFS-Database to the final RTM-TFS - if you do this, you can save all action-recordings, the Test-Suite hierarchy, etc.

We've had a lot of contact with Microsoft regarding this issue and they currently do not have a solution to migrate Test Suites, Test Plans, or Test Results between collections.

Use the TFS Integration Platform to to Migrate Test Cases (we did this successfully between servers/collections although we had a few strange issues we had to work through).
