ATF tests backup and restore

[PhoenixMing0912]

Hi all,

We are going to do instance copy in these days.

ATF tests may get lost during the copy so that we want to do backup.

I can think of two ways:

1, Backup to local and restore, for this option, there are two branches:

a, Backup test itself and restore

b, Add test to update set, backup update set and restore

2, Backup to another instance

Anyone can help?

If you did not originally capture them as part of an update set or scoped app it won't be very easy to back them up. There are too many tables involved to just export xml from specific tables. I have heard of people using the copy test functionality to copy the test and capture that copy in an update set, so that's probably your best bet. I am not aware of any documentation, though.

Moving forward, I would capture all of your test creation in update sets/scoped apps and move it into prod like you would any other type of ServiceNow development.

Finally we moved tests to another dev instance for backup.

Thank you very much for your help.
