Rational Manual Tester Migration overview

The manual test migration process involves the transfer of your manual test assets via HTTP from a local or network file system to a repository on the IBM® Rational® Quality Manager Jazz™ server. You can transfer entire manual test projects or individual test scripts, logs, and folders.

Manual test scripts that do not belong to any project are migrated as individual assets. The migration application works as follows:

  1. It creates a test script with the same name in the Rational Quality Manager repository.
  2. It adds all the statements in the original test script to the new test script.
  3. For each statement, it migrates all statement properties, attachments, and descriptions.

In the case of reuse statements, you can choose to convert them to keywords or to local statements. You cannot migrate reuse statements directly because they are not supported in Rational Quality Manager.

When performing the migration, select Convert Group Statements to Steps for most scripts to break up nested steps into individual steps in the Rational Quality Manager version of the script.

After performing a migration, be sure to view the log for any errors.

Migrating manual test scripts that are referenced by Rational ClearQuest Test Manager projects

If you migrate manual test scripts that are referenced by Rational ClearQuest® Test Manager projects, you must migrate the test scripts before migrating theRational ClearQuest Test Manager projects.

The test script location in Rational Manual Tester must match the location of those scripts in Rational ClearQuest. In particular, if a UNC path name is used in Rational ClearQuest Test Manager to refer to the manual test scripts, the same path must be used to migrate the manual test scripts to Rational Quality Manager. This path is used to ensure that the scripts align properly in the Jazz Team Server.

Migration of project assets

All test assets that are contained in manual test projects are migrated, including test scripts, keywords, keyword libraries, datapools, and log files. When migrating test scripts, references to keywords are maintained.
