Test Management import/export tests

Steve212 — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 08:13:46 GMT

I want to start using ServiceNow Test Management 2.0 for my UAT manual tests during client deployment. We have a number of tests existing that we would need to be imported to Test Management Tests, with their steps.

Also, not all of our clients testers will have access to the UAT environment: there will be some projects where we will need to export the tests to a spreadsheet to distribute.

How do I import and export tests - and their steps - to/from ServiceNow Test Management 2.0?

Thanks

I dont have the answer, but am very interested as this is something we are also facing.
When we export the XML the Test steps are not included.

did you ever get a fix/response on this one?

These are all the tables in relation to this information.

sn_test_management_test

sn_test_management_test_cycle

sn_test_management_test_environment

sn_test_management_test_assignment

sn_test_management_test_execution_suite

sn_test_management_test_plan

sn_test_management_test_result

sn_test_management_test_run

sn_test_management_test_set

sn_test_management_m2m_test_set_test

sn_test_management_test_version

sn_test_management_planned_task

sn_test_management_step_result

sn_test_management_step

sn_test_management_m2m_task_test

You can export the records as XML from these tables, and import them back into your chosen system to ensure you don't lose anything important.

This is helpful. But the shear number of tables means there is a great chance to mess it up. And is more work than entering them one by one into the tool.

Thanks for the list of tables though. That's usefull.

Hi Steve, I know this post is a few years old. We're getting started on this same thing. Were you able to make progress on this and be willing to share how you achieved it? Thanks.

Hi Susan.. Unfortunately I have not had a solution to this problem. We have had to start from scratch and create all the tests manually. Remembering to create an update set so we can re-deploy when/if they are lost or we move instances. It is a limitation to the SN Test Solution that you can't import.
