Info
titlePlease note

The Test Case Importer is only able to create Test issues. If you wish to create other types of issues, you should use Jira's CSV importer instead. Note that Jira's CSV importer is not able to handle any Xray related semantics though.

Accessing the Test Case Importer

Xray provides the ability to import multiple test cases at once either as a standard user or as a JIira administrator; there is no limit on the number of tests that can be imported.


Info
titlePermissions

Only users that have the Make Bulk Changes permission will have this option available. The configuration can be found in the Jira Administration / System.

Additionally the user will only be able to import data into projects where he has the Create Issues permission.

From the top Apps menu

Go to Apps > Xray. In the "Xray" side menu, select "Test Case Importer" and then select the format you want to use (e.g. CSV).
