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.

Note: Please find below mapping screenshot
