Export Scopes

  • All test cases — Export everything in the current product
  • OQL-filtered results — Export only test cases matching your current query (e.g., priority = p1 AND status = ready)
  • Selected tests — Export only test cases you’ve checked in the table
  • Unassigned tests — Export test cases not assigned to any folder

​
Preparing Import Files

Your Excel file should contain these sheets:
  • Test Cases — One row per test case with columns: Title, Description, Priority, Type, Status, Category, Tags
  • Steps (optional) — Test steps with columns: Test Case Title, Step Number, Action, Expected Result
  • Folders (optional) — Folder hierarchy with columns: Name, Parent Folder
  • Tags (optional) — Tag definitions with columns: Name, Color
Export an existing test suite first to see the expected format, then use it as a template for your import file.
ZIP archives should contain:
  • Markdown (.md) files for each test case
  • A folders.json file defining the folder structure
  • A tags.json file defining tags
This format is ideal for full backup/restore scenarios.
