Xray v3.3 provides a built-in importer for Zephyr for Jira.

As of Xray v3.3, the importer performs inline migration of data (i.e. Zephyr's Test issues are "moved" to Xray's Test issues).

Features and Limitations

Below, please find a list of the support 


Supported FeaturesUnsupported
  • Test, Test steps
  • Test and Test step attachments
  • Links between Tests and Defects/Requirements
  • Cycle
  • Folders do Cycle
  • Executions
    • defects (global and step level)
    • attachments (global and step level)
    • result (global and step level)
    • comments (global and step level)
    • assignee


  • Test Runs ad-hoc cycle, only the last is migrated
  • Custom fields in the Test steps e na Execution
  • Activity information
  • Test Statuses and Test Step Statuses
  • Cycle folders as-is


Notas

  • quando a coluna do Step está vazia <undefined>
  • no rollback; migration is inline
  • all issues will be created within the same project where the migration is being done



Recomendações

  • criar os mesmos estados no Xray antes da migração
  • links diferentes Test<=>Defect Test<=>Requirement
  • backup Jira before migrating
  • After working hours (as it can be intensive)


O que migra

  • (Zephyr) Test => (Xray) Test
  • Cycle => Test Plan (optional)
    • plus 1 Test Execution (Executions soltas)
  • Cycle's folder => Test Execution
    • name of the folder in the Summary
    • <version> - <cycle's name> - <folder> Execution
  • **Ad-hoc Cycle => Test Plan (optional)
    • plus 1 Test Execution 
  • Execution => Test Run



fixVersion é inferido da versão atribuída ao cycle


Test Plan

<version> - <cycle's name>

  • requirement issue types must be configured in Xray



Pós-operações

  • ??


Please note

The current importer is relatively basic. If you need to migrate more information and have further control over the migrated data, we recommend you contact an Atlassian partner with expertise on this kind of migrations. Note that migrating "all" information may be a complex process to implement and some things may not be mappable at all.

Please note

  • The steps information from HP ALM/QC is saved in HTML which is only convertible to Jira's wiki markup from Jira 7.2 and later. In Jira version below 7.2, the steps are shown with HTML markup.
  • In order to import Tests, the Test issues cannot have required fields in Jira; you must set them as optional before starting the import process.

How to use

Suppose you have a project in HP ALM (see above for supported version/s) and you wish to import the tests from HP ALM's "Test Plan", as seen below:

  


To start the importation process:

  1. Log in with an administrator account.
  2. Go to System>Import and Export>External System Import.
  3. Select Xray's HP ALM/QC Importer.


Then, you need to fill out the details of the HP ALM/QC instance, including its host name/IP, port, domain, project and authentication credentials.



Please note

When you click Next, the connection is validated. If the connection fails, an error message is shown and you won't be able to proceed with the importation process.


Upon successful connection, you can optionally define a label to assign to the Test issues that will be created. This may be quite useful if you need a quick way to identify the newly created issues. The label syntax is restricted in the same way as the label fields in Jira. We recommend using a unique label with numbers.


Then, you need to choose the project in which you want the Test issues to be created.


A final confirmation dialog presents information about the total number of Tests that will be imported.

This number may be lower than the actual number of Test issues that will be created; this occurs because Xray will only be able to import some of the tests, depending on their characteristics which can only be determined during the actual importation.


At the end, a brief summary is shown mentioning the total number of Test issues created and any warnings that occurred during the process.


From this screen, you can also see the list of created issues based on the label you provided. You can also consult the detailed logs about the process.
