Import

Access the Import view, verify required permissions and begin migrating test cases into ATM.

Importing Test Cases

The Import feature in Testing Hub allows for the swift migration of test cases from external tools like Xray into Appsvio Test Management. Beyond simple data transfer, it bridges the gap between legacy tools and a native Jira environment, allowing you to keep your established processes while gaining better performance and Forge-level security. Move your data in minutes and continue testing exactly where you left off.

In order to find the Import section:

1. Go to Testing Hub in Jira.

2. In the left‑hand navigation, the Import section will be visible.

If the Import section is not visible, it means that the user doesn't have the required global permissions.

Required Global Permissions

The Import section is visible and accessible only to users who have both of these global permissions:

• Global administrator

• Make bulk changes

Project Permissions for the target Testing Project

In addition to global permissions, users also need permissions in the target project where Test Cases will be created/updated (the project selected in the Testing Project).

To successfully import into a given Testing Project, users must have both of the following permissions in the project linked to that Testing Project:

• Create work item

• Edit work item

These are verified when users choose the Testing Project in the Import Wizard. If a user doesn't have the required project permissions, the corresponding option (e.g. “Test Cases” for a given project) will be disabled and they won’t be able to proceed.

Import History

After opening Apps > Testing Hub > Import, users first see the history of all imports.

Each import is shown in a table with the following information:

• Testing Project - the Testing Project configuration where the data was imported.

• Imported elements - the type of elements imported.

  • At this moment, the type of elements available is Test Cases.

• Imported by - the user who started the import.

• Import date - date and time when the import started.

• Status - the current or final status of the import; the statuses are as follows:

  • Success - all rows from the file were processed and the issues were created/updated correctly.

  • Warning - The import finished, but at least one row could not be created or updated due to data validation errors (e.g. invalid work-key, missing Summary when creating a new item).

  • Failed - a critical error prevented the import from completing (e.g., server error or connectivity problem).

  • In Progress - the import is currently running in the background.

• Work items created - number of items created that includes a link, which opens Jira work item navigator showing the newly created items from this import.

• Work items updated - number of items updated that includes a link, which opens Jira work item navigator showing updated items from this import.
