Via REST API

This topic lists API operations you can use to migrate your test cases to Zephyr Enterprise. For more information on data migration, see Migrating to Zephyr Enterprise.

To get started with Zephyr Enterprise REST API, see Zephyr Enterprise REST API Documentation.

Supported Migration Entities

Zephyr REST API supports migration of the following entities:

Projects
Users
Requirements
Tests
Test Attachments
Test Steps
Step Attachments
Test Folder Organization
Test Custom Fields
Release
Cycle
Test Run (test execution in Zephyr)

Reference

Below is a sequence of steps you need to perform to migrate test cases from HP ALM to Zephyr Enterprise by using Zephyr REST API and a list of REST API operations you will use when migrating your test cases.

1. Create a role and assign a permission to it.

Operation	Description

Operation	Description
POST /flex/services/rest/v3/role	Create a user role.
PUT /flex/services/rest/v3/role/permission?roleid={role ID}	Assign a permission to the user role.

Operation	Description

Operation	Description
POST /flex/services/rest/latest/user	Create a new Zephyr Enterprise user.

3. Create a project in Zephyr Enterprise and assign the user to it.

Operation	Description

Operation	Description
POST /flex/services/rest/latest/project	Create a project in Zephyr Enterprise.
PUT /flex/services/rest/latest/project	Assign the user to the project.

4. Create a custom field and add values to it.

Operation	Description

Operation	Description
POST /flex/services/rest/latest/field	Create a custom field.
PUT /flex/services/rest/v3/admin/preference	Specify values for the custom field.

5. Create a release.

POST /flex/services/rest/v3/testcasetree?parentid={ID of the parent folder}	Create a sub-folder or sub-phase.
POST /flex/services/rest/latest/testcase/	Create a test case.
POST /flex/services/rest/latest/attachment/list	Attach a file to a test case (before attaching the file, upload it to the server).
PUT /flex/services/rest/v3/testcase/{id}	Update an existing test case (update the tag, priority, custom fields, etc.)
