Updated Release: V1.1 (RTM) (Jan 02, 2012)

ravishan — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 08:50:56 GMT

This release (V1.1 RTM) includes fixes for 2 reported issues:

Issue#1: The tool crashes when used against a Scrum project template
This version includes the fix that enables you to work with Projects created with the Scrum Template. Without this fix, trying to use the tool against a project created using a Scrum template would either crash the tool or give various errors.
The core problem with the Scrum template was that the “Bug” work item was present in both “Requirements” category and “Bugs” category, whereas the tool was expecting it to be present only in the “Bugs” category. This has now been corrected.

Issue#2: Test Steps/Expected Results imported via tool do not show up in Microsoft Test Runner (MTR) during manual testing
The tool incorrectly imports the Test steps with Expected Results. Any test step with Expected result should be marked as a Validate step, however this was not set appropriately by the tool. As a result, when the test case is executed manually in MTR, the expected result does not show up inline with the test step.
Fix is that the ‘TestStepType’ field for such a test step should be set as TestStepType.ValidateStep
Thanks to kfkyle for submitting this fix

Released: V1.1 (RTM) (Jan 02, 2012)

Updated Release: V 1.0 (RC2) (May 07, 2010)

ravishan — Wed, 12 May 2010 13:50:25 GMT

Test Case Migrator Plus

With the prior releases of Test Case Migrator (Beta and RC1), it was possible to:

migrate test cases (along with test steps) present in Microsoft Excel to VS2010 TCM server AND
migrate VS 2005/2008 test templates present in MHT/doc formats to VS2010 TCM server.

These capabilities allowed you to reap all the benefits associated with Test Case Management (requirements traceability, test coverage, requirements coverage, test execution, test result analysis etc) present in VS 2010 release post migration.

With the RC2 release of this tool, we are adding to the Excel capabilities the ability to migrate not just the Test case work item, but also Requirements and Bugs work items – hence the change in name of the executable to “TestCaseMigratorPlus.exe”. The mht/doc based workflow remains the same – i.e. it only supports migration of work item type present in the VS2005/2008 manual test templates.

What's new in RC2 version:
With this new drop (RC2), the following functionality has been added to the Excel based workflow:

Migrate not just Test case, but also Requirement/User story and Bug work item types.
Migrate links (using “Links mapping” dialog (Excel flow)) between different work item types across different invocations/sessions of the tool. Refer to “LinksMapping(Excel)-Internals-Readme.doc” for additional details.
Default link types supported include:
- “Parent/Child” links between Requirement::Requirement
- “Related” links between Requirement::Requirement
- “Related” links between Test Case::Test Case
- “Related” links between Bug::Bug
- “Related” links between Requirement::Bug
- “Tested By/Tests” links between Requirement::Test Case
- “Tested By/Tests” links between Bug::Test Case
Create Test plans/test suites as part of migration process for a Test case work item type.
Create Area Paths at runtime based on folder hierarchy specified in excel file for all supported work item types.
Analyze the migration process across different runs using “Consolidated Excel Pivot reports” (Excel flow) in addition to the session based output excel file.
Updated and polished UI for the tool – now this is consistent with VS2010 theme.
Improved and early inline error handling.

No changes have been made to the mht/doc based workflow other than UI polish.

List of known issues:

CLI does not work with VS command prompt, it does work with normal command prompt.
Crash occurs when Office 2000 (excel/word/mht) is given as input to the tool.

Released: V 1.0 (RC2) (May 07, 2010)

ravishan — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 19:11:27 GMT

The Test Case Migrator (Excel/MHT) tool provides you the ability to move the Test case information (including test steps) from both Excel and VS2005/VS2008 test templates (MHT/doc) formats into TCM server. With the V1.0 (RC1) release, we are providing both the binary drop of the tool (that you can start using directly without any modifications out-of-the-box) AND also the source drop (that you can customize to suit your complex business needs). It also contains sample Excel and mht files along with settings file each for the sample Excel and mht files.

What's new in RC1 version:
With this new drop (RC1), the following functionality has been added/updated:

Support for VS2005/VS2008 manual test template (mht/word) files has been added to this version. With this support, users can now migrate the manual tests, created using the VS2005/VS2008 templates, into VS2010. This functionality is targeted using the RC bits of Visual Studio 2010.
Excel based migration continues to be supported. The tool has been updated to work with the RC bits for Visual Studio 2010. The only change for Excel as a data source type is that now you have to specify the “Output log folder” instead of “Output log file” in the “Miscellaneous” dialog. The term “column mapping” has now been replaced with “field mapping” to support both Excel and VS2005/VS2008 manual test template (mht/word) files.
