Is there a way to move test suite/cases from MTM application to Azure Devops' Test plan? - testing

We are currently using MTM (application, not web) to house our test cases. We are moving to Azure Devops >Test Plans. We would like to export from MTM and import into ADO. Is there an easy way of doing this? I can not find a lot of info on this subject any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to move all the test cases from MTM to ADO then you can make use of Excel sheet for this bulk update.
In Excel sheet
-->Team tab
-->New List
-->Click on Servers
-->Add Your organization URL.
Select the project and add all your test cases to given table .
After adding all the test cases save it and again go to team tab .
Click on publish and in your ADO you can refresh and see the new test cases added over there .

Multiuser workspace Tricentis Tosca

Does anyone have solution steps, where I can see how to work on multi user workspace which was created by another user in Tricentis Tosca.
Note: The workspace is stored in MS sql DB by another user, I want to work on same workspace.
I search a lot but not getting details steps.
Before you can work on an object in a multi-user workspace it must be checked out. You might look into taking the Automation Specialist 1 training class as I believe it has a section that covers checkin/checkout.

Is it possible to import test cases from Excel to TFS?

I need help in importing test cases from excel to TFS [Version 14.102.25423.0]. As we have to write thousands of old test cases in TFS which seems to be very time consuming task.
I've already tried using- Test Case Migrator Plus. But its not working bcz of-TCMP has stopped working error. I'm unable to find solution for this error. Also there is no alternative I could find for same on Google.
I have also tried using Team Addin for excel but this gives option of importing Data from TFS to Excel but not vise versa.
So Plz let me know if anybody knows any solution or any otheralternative for getting this done.Thanks in Advance!
Note: I've Visual Studio 2015 installed on my VM with Windows 7.
The simplest way to import your test case back to TFS is: Import your test cases from web portal by copy and save. Note you must switch to the grid view first.
For more details take a look at below two links:
Importing Test cases from Excel to TFS
Add feature in TFS to export and import test case to and from TFS with steps,actions and expected result details
If you have multiple/thousands of test cases which need to upload. While TFS does not offer an out-of-the-box feature as a perfect solution. The 3rd-party tool Test Case Migrator Plus you are using seems only until 2013 version and there isn’t the version which supports TFS 2015.
You could still use the grid view, if you use three columns in Excel, you can even import many test cases into TFS at once. Besides depending on what you have as input, you can also do it with a bit of code, e.g. in C#. Just append some text, split columns by \t and rows by \r\n. Use Clipboard.SetText() and then paste in TFS.
There also has been a related user voice, you could vote up to get more attention, TFS PM will kindly review your suggestion:

upload test cases from excel to microsoft test manager 2013

In my current project we are using Microsoft Test Manager 2013. We have prepared test cases in excel. How can we upload prepared test cases from excel to MTM 2013.
Additionally to the answer by #MrHinsh:
Check Create Manual Tests using Team Web Access and look for the question Can I copy test cases and test steps from an existing Excel worksheet? in the Q&A part.
I do this using the free tool tcmimport: http://tcmimport.codeplex.com/
You can do this by copying and pasting into the test grid in the web access for TFS 2013. In the web access to to the test tab and for the test suit you want to add items to switch to grid mode. Then past in in the required format.
I recommend preparing test cases directly in Web Access or MTM. Your current workflow is a dysfunction resulting from Quality Centre use 😊.

Automate report download from SAP Business Object Infoview

I am new to SAP Business Objects Infoview and was asked if I can automate the report data generation for an existing report.
Here is what I would do manually through the Infoview web interface:
Click schedule for the report in question, which brings up the Schedule dialog
Change the recurrence to Now
Change the report prompts (start date and end date) so that start date=today and end date=today-14 days
Set the format to CSV and output the report to the Inbox
Schedule the report
Wait for the report to succeed
Download the generated report data
I can see how I could build a tool using Java and Selenium to automate this. However I am wondering if there is a more elegant way to doing this that still allows me to set the prompts dynamically. Are there existing 3rd party tools? Can I use JDBC?
What I have at my disposal is a user name/password to log on to Infoview. If a more elegant solution requires additional access or software please let me know.
It's possible with a simple addition to the universe (but this, of course, requires universe developer access). For your example, you could create a new universe-based Predefined Condition object with a definition of: (assuming Oracle)
start_date = trunc(sysdate) and end_date = trunc(sysdate-14)
Adding this object to a report will produce the desired timeframe whenever it's run, whether it's scheduled or interactive.
If you want the same report to run with this logic when scheduled, but still allow users to select dates via the prompts. You can use magic dates. See this blog post for info.
Lastly, you could write a custom program that would open the report, populate the prompts with the appropriate values, and run it. But I would consider that a less-preferable option than the ones above.
You can use UiPath in order to easily automate SAP GUI without writing code.
Here's a tutorial on how to automate data entry, menu navigation and screen scraping on SAP.
You can use it from code (SDK) or you can create workflows (visual automation) directly from UiPath Studio.
Note: I work at UiPath. You should also try other visual automation tools like Automation Anywhere, WinAutomation, Jacada, use them side by side and choose the one that suits better your needs.
Here's how automating SAP Business One menus, buttons and typing looks like:

Creating a specific database deployment script

I have been asked to migrate a schema from our testing area into our staging area.
As someone that has never done this before my first instinct would be to paste every script into one large script and hope that I have done it in the right order.
Is there a better way? If anyone could point me to this information I'd be very grateful.
You can use the Generate Script option when right clicking on database in Management Studio and even choosing to export data to the file in last step by clicking the Advanced button.
