Pipelines provide an AI-powered, multi-phase process for importing large volumes of test cases from Excel or CSV files. Unlike simple import, pipelines analyze your file structure, map columns intelligently, and let you review decisions at each stage. Pipelines page showing pipeline list

​
Accessing Pipelines

Navigate to Tasks in the sidebar to see all your pipelines. Each pipeline tracks the progress of a test case import from upload to completion.

​
Creating a Pipeline

1

Upload File

Click Import Test Cases and upload an Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file containing test cases. The pipeline will analyze the file structure automatically.

Field Mapping (Gate 1)

The AI analyzes your spreadsheet columns and suggests mappings to OneTest fields (Title, Description, Priority, Steps, etc.). Review and adjust the mappings as needed, then click Confirm to proceed.

Analysis (Gate 2)

The pipeline parses and validates your test cases based on the field mapping. Review any warnings or issues before proceeding.

Execution & Review (Gate 3)

Test cases are created in OneTest. The pipeline then presents Review Results — AI-detected quality findings such as:
  • Flow continuations — shorter test cases that overlap with longer ones and can be merged
  • Contradictions — tests with conflicting expected outcomes for the same action
  • Merge proposals — duplicate or redundant tests that should be combined
For each finding, choose to merge, keep separate, or skip. Use Confirm All to accept the AI’s recommendations in bulk.

Health Report

A comprehensive Health Report compares source file quality against the migrated result:
  • Health Score — overall quality rating (e.g., 78.1/100)
  • TC Completeness — field coverage improvements (description, priority, pass/fail criteria)
  • Structural Quality — naming consistency, step counts, tag coverage
  • Quality Findings — resolved overlaps and contradictions

Completed

Your test cases are now available in Test Cases. Navigate there to review and organize them.

Pipeline Phases

Each pipeline progresses through these phases:

​
Decision Gates

At each gate, the pipeline may present decision items that require your input:
  • Blocking items — Must be resolved before the pipeline can advance
  • Non-blocking items — Can be resolved or skipped
You can resolve items individually or use Batch Resolve to handle multiple items at once.

When to Use Pipelines vs Simple Import

Use simple Import & Export for quick imports of files in the standard OneTest format. Use Pipelines when importing from external tools or dealing with hundreds of test cases.
