Overview

With TFJ's customizable export/import it is possible to copy an entire test plan structure into another project.
Test cases including their test steps and parameters can be duplicated into another project's test plan or definition.

(info) This feature is currently only accessible by Administrators.

Exporting a test plan

  • Go to Plan List View

  • Click on the Export icon of a test plan

A .json file will be downloaded which contains the data structure of the test plan.  
(warning) Important – Proceed with caution when modifying file content manually.

Importing a test plan

This can be done via the Definition View or the Plan List View.

Note

Before importing, make sure to modify the value of the prjKey parameter from the previously exported file. Change the value to the destination project's project key. Otherwise, it will be imported into the same project you exported it from. See snippet below for reference.

In here, the name of the test plan can also be changed if the same plan name already exists in the destination project.

Code Block
languagejson
{
  "trees" : {
    "prjKey" : "DESTINATION_PRJKEY",
    "tree" : [ {
      "folders" : [ {
        "name" : "TEST_PLAN_NAME",
  • Go to Definition View or Plan List View

  • Click on the Import button in the TFJ navigation

  • Browse to open the file explorer and choose the .json file to be imported

  • Click Import

Additional Notes:

  • In definition view, test cases that already exist in context will not be imported

  • When importing from plan list view, the plan structure will automatically be imported to the definition as well

  • Errors in file content structure or data will result in request failure

Limitations

  • Overwrite/update not fully supported

  • Successful export/import is restricted between projects that have the same issue type scheme

  • Support for test case issue links in import is limited to relationships between issues in the same test plan – else, the links are ignored and not imported

  • Attachments are not yet supported

  • Version and Component fields not yet supported
