Quick Import data using TestRail

Set up BrowserStack Test Management by quickly importing projects and test cases from TestRail.

Quick Import from Dashboard

You can do a Quick Import of TestRail from the dashboard by selecting the Quick Import option in the drop-down menu of Create Project.

Also, you can do a Quick Import for TestRail once you have created a project in the dashboard.

You can import TestRail data by entering API tokens and establishing a connection.

Provide TestRail details and test connection

1. Enter your TestRail Email Address.
2. Enter your TestRail Host Name or web address. For example: https://abcd.testrail.io
3. Enter your TestRail API Key.
   • You can find TestRail API Key in the mysettings section of your TestRail web address, such as https://<testrail-host-name->/index.php?/mysettings.
4. Click Test connection to verify the connection with provided details.
5. Click Proceed to save and establish the connection.

Confirm import

Before initiating the import process from TestRail into Test Management, consider the following settings carefully. These choices will impact the handling of your test cases and the overall success of the import:

1. Choose whether to retain existing Test Case IDs:
   • Keep Retain Test Case IDs from TestRail while importing to Test Management selected to use the original IDs. This option could cause import failures if there are duplicate IDs.
   • Uncheck Retain Test Case IDs from TestRail while importing to Test Management to allow Test Management to generate new IDs for all test cases. This is the recommended option to avoid import failures.

2. Select the desired TestRail projects for import.

   

3. Click Begin Import to initiate the process.

After completing these steps, your selected TestRail projects will begin importing into Test Management.

Import progress

You can check the import progress on the All Projects page and click View Details to check import progress in the Quick Import detailed view.

If required, you can also Cancel the import process from the Quick Import detailed view.

After the import completes successfully, click View Report to check the result of the import process.
