What is the best method for copying ATF tests from one instance to another?

[Geoff Dench]

Been looking at numerous options for the best way to copy ATF tests from one instance to another and wonder what people are finding is best and most consistent. Have encountered many issues in the past even when using things like Team Developer. Wondering if Instance Data Replication might be a better way? Many thanks - Geoff

Hi @Geoff Dench ,

Why are you not using update sets, any issues??

Use update sets

Hi @Geoff Dench 

Create New Update set in Local Update set and make it current.

Go to the test you need to move.

In related links click Add to update set.

Do it for other test also.

Go to that created update set.

Move the state to Complete.

Download the update set.

Go to other instance you need to move.

Navigate Retrieve Update set.

In the related Link click Add update set from XML.

Preview and Commit.

This is the best way you can move the test from one instance to another.

Apologies - I should have made it clearer that I’m using update sets but the results are not consistent. There are quite a few issues with moving ATF tests around this way.
