Migration from TFS to JIRA

[Natalia Ivanov]

I am looking into ways to migrate from TFS to JIRA. Exporting requirements/tasks/test cases from TFS to Excel and importing from Excel to JIRA does not save the relations (linkage) between work items. Are there any suggestions on how to overcome this blocker? Thank you!

@Natalia Ivanov There is an app which integrates TFS and Jira:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/42296/tfs4jira-azure-devops-integration?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

It has features to sync Jira issues and TFS work items, and as far as I see it supports links as well. Maybe you could try this:

1. You install the app and let it sync the TFS work items to Jira.
2. I'd expect at this point, you have a "clone" of all TFS entities in Jira!
3. Clean up:
   1. You uninstall the app.
   2. Drop TFS.

It may worth an experiment.

Thank you, Aron, I will give it a try.

Unfortunately, this app does not work for us as we are not on TFS cloud. Does anyone know the manual way to do it: export test cases from TFS to JIRA?

Hi, we are doing the same Import data import from TFS to JIRA Cloud, but having issues while mapping Work Items to Jira's Issue Types

could you please help in identifying equivalent values for Jira  here?
