Hi @1_DipikaD
Upgrade and ATF are 2 different things, but yes ATF is helpful in upgrades. The use case is like
in earlier days when ATF was not there, the team/business need to spend days doing the testing of modules manually, which was time-consuming and sometimes boring as well Suppose a customer upgraded twice in years so how much effort goes into the same?
After the introduction of ATF, the testing is done quickly and easily. In ATF you can define your test steps (one-time efforts) or use an OOTB test case, and as soon as the upgrade is done run the ATF test cases and enjoy a cup of tea. Just to add, I recently upgraded our client instance to DC release and by using ATF in 21 minutes we came to know that the incident module is fine after the upgrade.
Hope now it's clear to you or still have questions, please put them here.
If my response proves useful, please indicate its helpfulness by selecting " Accept as Solution" and " Helpful." This action benefits both the community and me.

I did the following to move ATF test cases from instance to instance:
1. Make a new application in a new scope in System Applications > Studio.
2. If you make a new ATF test, switch to the new scope and create the ATF test case in this scope.
3. If you have an existing ATF test case, switch to the new scope, and then copy an existing ATF test case to a new test with the same name. Do the copy from within the ATF test case. This will create a new test case with the same name, but now in the new scoped app.
4. When all test cases has been created in the new scope, publish the scoped app to the Source Control repository in Studio (you need to set up the repository before you can do this).
5. Now you are able to go to another instance (the one you upgrade to a new release) and then install the application. Navigate to System Applications > My Company applications, find the app with the new version and install it.
This should do it. It works for me.
