Prerequisite for Using the Zephyr Importing Tool
This prerequisite is applicable for both the internal and external importer tool.
Zephyr supports the majority of the Jira fields and this includes any custom fields added as well.
Even though we support these Jira fields (mandatory or optional), they must be added to the Create Issue Screen in Jira. It is required for all mandatory fields for a given project to be added to the Create Issue Screen.
This is required because it allows the field to be mapped to a data column as part of the import process. Zephyr is then able to list the respective fields on the mapping section when using the Importer tool. Once the mapping is done, the user is able to map the required mandatory or optional Jira fields to the importer file fields.
Internal Importer
- Zephyr for JIRA now provides an in-house importer tool that allows users to import data straight from Excel and XML to JIRA.
- The importer tool utilizes a simple drag-and-drop feature to perform mapping of the issue fields with the Excel and XML fields to a JIRA story.
- Users are able to maintain persistent mapping for future reuse if there needs to be future imports.
- The Zephyr for Jira importer tool allows users the linking of test cases from Excel and XML to a JIRA story.
