Migrate to Testomat.io
Migrate test suites from another TMS into Testomat.io via UI import, API migration script, or CSV converter.
Pick Strategy
- Identify source: ask for TMS name only if not given.
- Identify input: live instance with API access, or exported CSV/XLSX file.
- Route by source:
- TestRail + API access, >1000 tests or needs attachments/runs: API migration script (TESTRAIL_MIGRATION.md).
- TestRail, <1000 tests, no attachments: built-in UI import (CSV or TestRail API option in Imports window).
- XRay (Jira): migration script producing Testomat.io CSV (XRAY_MIGRATION.md).
- Testmo, QMetry, TestCaseLabs, Allure TestOps export file: CSV converter script (CSV_MIGRATION.md).
- Qase, QTest, Zephyr, other TMS export file: direct UI CSV import, no script (CSV_MIGRATION.md).
- Unsupported or broken TMS support: build a custom converter or API script (CUSTOM_MIGRATION.md).
- Screenshots or file attachments needed: use the API script path, CSV import cannot create attachments.
- Never invent converter output columns; converted files always import with format
Testomat.io. - API scripts need source credentials plus a Testomat.io General Token; never hardcode tokens, use
.env.
Scope
- Migration covers test cases; runs, defects, and requirements are optional extras via API.
- Upload run results only after test cases are uploaded.
- User fields with no Testomat.io equivalent are not dropped silently: map them to Labels/Tags or extend the converter script.
Workflow
- Create empty Testomat.io project for the import target.
- Get source access: API credentials (TestRail/XRay path) or export file (CSV path).
- Run the routed path:
- API script path: clone repo to a temp dir, configure
.env, dry-run, run full migration. - CSV path: convert if a converter exists, then import via UI.
- Custom path: build converter or API script first, then follow the matching path above.
- API script path: clone repo to a temp dir, configure
- UI import in all cases ends at: Tests tab > (
...) > Import from other TMS > Import > Import from CSV > pick source format > Choose file > Create. - Verify: check Tests page count, suite nesting, steps formatting, priorities/tags.
- Offer post-migration cleanup:
detect-duplicate-test-cases,improve-test-cases.
