Can I use the test case importer to create a test execution?

[Kevin Medeiros]

I'd like to be able to import Issue Type "Test Execution".  Is this possible with the test case importer gui?

Hi @Kevin Medeiros ~ yes.  Have a look here for guidance.

HI @Laurie Sciutti ,  I tried to import Issue ID, Summary, Description and Issue Type and I got an error when I tried setting Issue Type to "Test Execution"  

"xray": "Invalid xray_issue_type"

Why is "Test Execution" an invalid type?  I saw that issue types can be represented by a number but I didn't see "issue types" listed as numbers.

My csv file looked something like:

Issue ID	Summary	Description	Component	Action	Data	Expected Result	Test Type	Test Repository Folder	Program	Issue Type
1	vac	vac test execution		open app			Manual		Myprog	Test Execution

Hi @Kevin Medeiros ~ do you have "Test Execution" in the Issue Type Scheme for the project you're importing to?

Hi @Laurie Sciutti, where do I check this?  I'm not an admin.  If admin privs are required, can you send me a link on how to do this that I can provide my admin? 

 I'm assuming that once "Test Execution" is listed as an issue type that I will be able to create a test execution, right?  The same would apply to creating test sets, right?

thank you,

Kevin

I'm also curious why these issue types are not set by default.  Is there a good reason for that?

HI @Laurie Sciutti

I verified that we have the following schemes:

• Scheme:SW Test Issue Type Scheme

  Bug
  Epic
  Pre-Condition
  Story
  Sub Test Execution SUB-TASK
  Sub-task SUB-TASK
  Task
  Test
  Test Execution
  Test Plan
  Test Set

Why is "Test Execution" showing up as an invalid issue type in the spreadsheet I attached earlier?  Please advise.

"xray": "Invalid xray_issue_type"
