Steps to import test case / test suite
Pre Conditions:
1. Ex-Converter should be installed on user’s machine [https://sourceforge.net/pro-
jects/ex-converter/] for Version 1.2.1
2. User should have “Source Excel File” (Excel file with desired test cases or test suites)
Steps:
Step 1: Launch Ex-Converter
Step 2: Select desired template type radio button for Test Cases / Test Suites.
Step 3: Select “Source Excel File” From hard disk.
Step 4: Select “Destination XML File” or create a new XML file.
Step 5: Enter ‘1’ under ‘Active Sheet’, since sheet in use is the first one of the Excel file
Step 5: Map all fields with your “Source Excel File”. Let say your test cases starts form row 3
and ends on 10th
row so enter ‘3’ in ’Start Row’ and ‘10’ in ‘End. Map other field corresponding
to the source file.
