Re: Import Test Cases into Zephyr Scale and keeping original test case number
Thanks for the info. So, our business line testers do the testing and their management doesn't want them to spend their time learning it, as easy as it is. My former employer had business line testers too but they had the option of testing in HP Quality Center or testing from worksheets. The worksheets were uploadable via an Excel plugin and it was able to upload updates, test results, and screenshots. It appears Zephyr Scale is limited in that area. I have over 120 test cases that I've downloaded to Excel and edited, since editing en masse is much easier in Excel than doing 1 at time in Zephyr. Unfortunately, it appears I have only 2 choices - upload and renumber or update them manually. But, thanks for the confirmation. Maybe they'll update Zephyr with greater flexibility in the future, but as we know, testing improvements usually take a backseat!829Views0likes0CommentsImport Test Cases into Zephyr Scale and keeping original test case number
I created test cases in Zephyr scale, then exported them to an Excel spreadsheet for our testers. They don't test within Zephyr but work from the spreadsheets. If I make changes to the test cases in the Excel spreadsheet, is there a way to import them into Zephyr Scale retaining the original test case id (Key)? I've tried it before but Zephyr gives the tests new Keys and all my testing documentation has to be updated manually with the new key, which is very frustrating and time-consuming. Any ideas would be appreciated.964Views0likes8CommentsExport test cases to excel breaks up text lines
When I export a set of test cases to an Excel xls file, the text within each cell is realigned with the "carriage return" character breaking up several words of text into its own line, instead of leaving it as one paragraph. How do I work around this issue? It is difficult for my testers to deal with this format. For example, the text in the cell will be written in Zephyr as one block paragraph, such as: "Validate the amount offered is entered into the Amount field" In the exported file in Excel, it will appear as: "Validate the amount offered is entered into the Amount field". I copied/pasted the text into a Word doc to see what formatting character was placed at the end of each phrase and it shows there is a carriage return character thus breaking it up within the cell. Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening? Going through thousands of cells to manually correct this is not an option.
