     -  For creating Requirements and Test Scripts - Name field is required
     - For updating Requirements and Test Scripts - Id and Name fields are required.

  • is much easier.

  • much easier.
  • Ensure that no two columns have the same headers.
  • Only include “ID” header if importing data that has been exported from the same instance of Enterprise Tester and you wish to update already existing Requirements or Test Scripts
  • ID” is reserved for the Enterprise Tester GUID number, which should be in format {XXX-XXX-XXX-XXXX}.
  • An invalid ID number will cause your import to fail. In all other instances, leave ID blank or exclude from your import CSV.

 

 

File structure / packages:

  • Ensure that no two columns have the same heading.
    Enterprise Tester also allows you to easily import data into your specific file structure, simply set up a column in your CSV file with the header "Package".
  • For a Requirements import enter the file structure that you want the data to be imported into e.g Requirements|"package name"

  • For a Test Script import enter the file structure that you want the data to be imported into e.g Script Library|"package name"

  • If you wish to create/add further child packages you can add additional paths to the Package e.g Requirements|"package name"|"package name"|"package name"

  • The pipe “|” is the default file path separator but “/” is also commonly used.

  • Script, Requirement and Package names must not include your file path separator “|” or “/” in the name.



More tips:

  • Enterprise Tester will automatically import your records in the same order they appear in the CSV file. If you wish to control the order in which records are imported, add a column to your CSV file called Order Number and number records in the order you would like them to appear.

  • Breaking entities into packages of less than 200 individual items will ensure optimal performance.

  • Field mappings must be one-to-one, two import fields cannot map to one Enterprise Tester field.
    Field “ID” is reserved for the Enterprise Tester GUID number, which should be in format {XXX-XXX-XXX-XXXX}.
    Only include “ID” if importing data that has been exported from the same instance of Enterprise Tester and you wish to update already existing Requirements or Test Scripts
    An invalid ID number will cause your import to fail. In all other instances, leave ID blank or exclude from your import CSV.

  • Some fields will prompt you for additional information pertaining to that field e.g. you will be asked to indicate if the value in the CSV file is the package name or ID.
