    Migration Process

    • Activate Required Plugins: Enable the Test Management 2.0 (com.snc.testmanagement.2.0) and Test Management 2.0 — Data Migration (com.snc.testmigrationv1v2) plugins.
    • Migrate Test Data: Move test suites, test cases, and tests from version 1.0 to 2.0 using the migration tools. Note that test plans cannot be migrated due to significant changes in the data model.
    • Verify Migration: Confirm that migrated data is complete and accurate in a non-production environment before applying the migration in production.
    • Convert Test Suites: Convert test suites and their underlying test cases into test sets and tests in the new system.

    Data Transformation Details

    • Test Cases: In Test Management 1.0, test cases become test versions in 2.0. Key fields such as Short Description and Domain are preserved, and a relationship is created between the test and test set.
    • Tests: Tests from 1.0 convert to test steps in 2.0, maintaining fields like Order, Domain, Detailed Description, Test Data, and Expected Result. Each test step links back to the original test for reference.
    • Test Suites: Test suites become test sets in 2.0, retaining attributes like Name, Owner, and Domain.

    Custom Field Migration

    If you have custom fields added to Test Management 1.0 tables, you can migrate these fields to Test Management 2.0 by overriding the default field mapping in the script include TestMigrationTableMapping. The base mapping is defined in TestMigrationTableMappingBase. This allows you to preserve custom data within the new data model.

    Migrate your test data from Test Management 1.0 to Test Management 2.0, and start using Test Management 2.0 for its enhanced testing capabilities and features.

    Apply the following migration steps on a non-production instance, verify if the migration is completed as intended, and then perform the migration steps on a production instance.
