    Migration Steps

    • Activate Required Plugins: Enable the Test Management 2.0 (com.snc.testmanagement.2.0) and Test Management 2.0 — Data Migration (com.snc.testmigrationv1v2) plugins to initiate migration tools.
    • Convert Test Suites: Use the conversion process to move test suites and their associated test cases to the new format in Test Management 2.0.
    • Verify Migration: Confirm that all migrated data is accurate and complete on a non-production instance before executing the migration on production.

    Data Migration Details

    The migration transfers test suites, test cases, and tests, but does not include test plans due to significant changes in the data model.

    • Test Cases: Migrated as test versions in Test Management 2.0, preserving key fields such as short description and domain. A relationship is created between the test and test set, with links maintained to original test cases.
    • Tests: Migrated as test steps, maintaining order, domain, detailed descriptions, expected results, and verification steps, with links to original tests.
    • Test Suites: Converted into test sets in Test Management 2.0, retaining name, owner, and domain attributes.

    Handling Custom Fields

    If you have added custom fields in Test Management 1.0 tables, you can migrate these fields to corresponding custom columns in Test Management 2.0 by overriding the field mappings. This customization is done by modifying the TestMigrationTableMapping script include, which extends the default mappings defined in TestMigrationTableMappingBase.

    Migrate your test data from Test Management 1.0 to Test Management 2.0, and start using Test Management 2.0 for its enhanced testing capabilities and features.

    Apply the following migration steps on a non-production instance, verify if the migration is completed as intended, and then perform the migration steps on a production instance.
