Quick Import data using qTest
Set up BrowserStack Test Management by quickly importing projects and test cases from qTest.
You can import qTest data by entering host name and API token and establishing a connection.
Perform the following steps to connect qTest with Test Management.
Connect qTest with Test Management
-
In the Test Management dashboard, click Quick import.
- Click qTest.
- Enter the following details:
- qTest Host Name. Host Name is your qTest web address.
- qTest API key which is the Bearer Token from qTest. To locate it, log in to qTest, then Resources > API & SDK > Bearer Token.
- Click Test connection to verify the connection with provided details.
- Click Proceed to save and establish the connection.
Import progress
-
Select the checkbox for the projects you want to import.
- Click Begin import.
-
Monitor the import progress on the ALL Projects dashboard. Click View Details to check import progress.
-
Click Cancel if you want to stop the import process.
After the import completes successfully, click View Report to check the result of the import process.
- To ensure IDs are unique, BrowserStack generates new IDs for all imported projects, as qTest allows the same identifier across different projects.
- Test case IDs from qTest are not retained. New unique IDs are generated in BrowserStack Test Management.
- The original qTest IDs are stored in a custom field named
Imported Test Case ID
.
View and manage Import Logs
After confirming your import settings and initiating a qTest import, you can track its progress and review the outcomes of current and all previous imports from the Import Logs tab. This centralized log hepls you track ongoing imports and keep a record of all completed or failed attempts for troubleshooting and analysis.
Key features of the Import Logs:
-
Real-time status tracking:
When you start an import, it will appear in the list with a corresponding status indicator. You’ll be able to see if the import is still in progress, has completed successfully, or encountered errors. The status icons and textual cues offer a quick snapshot of the current state. -
Detailed metrics per import:
Each entry in the logs provides essential metrics about that specific import, such as:- Number of test cases imported: How many test cases were successfully brought over from qTest.
- Test runs & test plans data: You can verify the accurate transfer of key project elements by the number of test runs and test plans associated with the import.
- Project count: The number of projects affected by the import operation.
-
User & timestamp information:
The logs capture who initiated the import and when it was started. This helps maintain accountability and trace changes back to specific team members. If you have multiple team members initiating imports, this information streamlines coordination and follow-up. -
Access to detailed error information:
Using the action menu (the three dots next to a specific import), you can:
- View Report: Dive deeper into the results of a completed or partially completed import. These reports can include success metrics, error messages, and other diagnostic details.
- Retry Import: If an import encountered errors or did not yield the expected results, quickly reinitiate the process from here. This feature streamlines troubleshooting and reduces the time spent switching between different sections of the interface.
Email notification
An email notification is also sent to your registered email ID when the Quick Import process completes successfully.
Quick Import or CSV import saves email addresses of unregistered users and automatically assigns the associated test cases and test runs when they register or login to Test Management.
