Is there any way to import existing test cases from other test management software or files?

Question

We own a bunch of test cases. Some of them are in loose files and some in other test management system. Is there any way to import all that stuff into Team System 2010 - Test and Lab Manager in batch mode? XML files import, using classes from microsoft.visualstudio.testtools namespace or whatever. I've read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182615(VS.100).aspx on MSDN. It's interesting, but not for batch processing.

Answer 1

Hi Ja Rek - you can use the TCM OM to write a program that will convert test cases from loose files/other TCM tools to our TCM tool in VS 2010. We have some internal tools that can help port test cases from Excel to VSTS 2010 that we are planning to release outside of the product sometime later...maybe as a powertool. So, if you are able to get your test cases into Excel from your original sources, the migration can be automated using that tool.

I think I have to wait until documentation on TCM OM will be completed in more details.
