How to import the 'ID' field from TestRail?

Context

The ‘ID’ field from TestRail is not imported into testomat.io by default. Standard fields like name, steps, description, and priority are supported, but not the ‘ID’ field.

Answer

To import the ‘ID’ field from TestRail, consider the following workarounds:

1. Use an API Migration Script

   • This method transfers all standard and custom fields. If the ID in TestRail was a custom field, this method has a higher chance of transferring it.
   • Instructions can be found here: Migrate from TestRail and Import from TestRail.
   • A script is available at https://github.com/testomatio/migrate-testrail.

2. Embed the ID in Other Fields During CSV Import

   • Add a column with the ID in the Description or include the ID in Labels/Tags.
   • Perform a CSV import into a new project.

3. Use the Issues Field for Cross-Referencing

   • Transfer the ID into the Issues field (e.g., in ABC-123 format), but this requires prior conversion.
