We are currently in the process of transitioning from Jira Server to Jira Cloud and utilizing Zephyr for our test cases. We have a total of 1,843 test cases that need to be moved to the cloud, alongside other tickets. It is important to note that we do not require the migration of all Test Cycles or their execution history; we only need the Test Cases for future Test Cycles.
I found an article addressing a similar issue, but the utility provided did not function correctly for me; when I clicked the Start Import button, nothing occurred. What are the steps to successfully migrate Test Cases, including Test Steps from Zephyr, from Jira Server to Jira Cloud?
Migrating test cases from Zephyr on Jira Server to Jira Cloud can indeed be a bit tricky. First, ensure that your Jira Cloud has Zephyr activated. Export your test cases from Jira Server into a CSV format, which includes test steps if possible. It’s essential to ensure data accuracy during the export process. Then, use Jira’s import feature in the Jira Cloud version to import the CSV file. Make sure to map your fields correctly, and verify that all data, including test steps, are properly reflected post-import. A trial import with a few test cases is advisable before proceeding with the bulk of your data. This will help in catching any potential problems early on without impacting large sets of data.
try checking the permissions and scripts running on jira srv so the import btn works. sometimes browser plugins block actions, try disabling them. make sure you have latest jira versions on both sides. small batch tests before full import can also catch probs early. good luck!
