Migration of existing test cases and Defects?

Question

We currently have tests in word, excel and other test management tool (HP Quality Center). And defects in a different defect tracking tool (Clearquest). is there any pluggin available to migrate the existing tests and defects to VS2010.

Answer 1

Hi - you can eventually use the TFS migration toolkit to move your work items from Clearquest to Team System. Check out more at http://www.codeplex.com/MigrationSyncToolkit

For moving test cases from XL to Dev10, however, you can directly import the test cases into TCM by mapping the appropriate fields of your test cases with the fields of the work item. However, you might need a utility that can do this mapping automatically. Our early adopter community is currently using some internal utilities that they wrote themselves for this. This *might* be put out on the web for general use in the community.

Moving test cases from Word to VSTS will be a tricky affair though - since the cases might be free format and we pretty much have no way to do an accurate mapping. If you can get this from Word to XL easily, that'll be a better route

Hi Cilamkoti ,

A tool is released at codeplex which imports test cases from excel to VSTS 2010 Beta2. You may want to check this out at http://tcmimport.codeplex.com/
