Importing Data via CSV

Importing Requirements or Test Scripts via a CSV file is an effective method to create entities in bulk within Enterprise Tester.

A Requirement or Test Script CSV file can be either created manually or exported from other systems.

 

Preparing your CSV file

At minimum, Enterprise Tester requires your CSV file to contain the following fields (mandatory fields may change depending on your specific Field Configuration settings in the Admin Tab):

  • Requirements Import - Name
  • Test Script Import - Name, Step Description, Step Expected Result

 

To import more than one Test Script, or multiple Steps, format the CSV file as per the below example which contains two Test Scripts with three Steps each.  

Any other fields, including Custom fields can be added as columns to the CSV file and imported if required.

The application will read the CSV file, use the drop down boxes to map the Import File fields to the fields in Enterprise Tester. 

The "Save mapping as a template?" check box will allow you to save and reuse the mappings.   Add a Template Name when this is ticked.

Re-using Saved Templates

When you have previously saved mappings as a template, you can re-use these as follows:

  • Select your CSV file as per the usual process
  • Highlight the required mapping template
  • Click the Next button 

The mappings will be automatically loaded.
