Scenario Migration Tool

  1. QASymphony Help Center
  2. qTest Scenario
  3. Installation and User Guide for qTest Scenario

Overview

The Scenario Migration Tool is for customers using Scenario 1.0 who want to migrate their feature files to Scenario 2.0. The Scenario 1.0 Feature Files are stored in Postgres SQL, while Scenario 2.0 stores Feature Files in your chosen VCS and MongoDB.

The Scenario Migration Tool will automatically create your Scenario 1.0 Feature Files inside of MongoDB as well as your chosen VCS, as opposed to moving them manually. 

Prerequisite Applications

  • MongoDB 3.4-3.6 should be installed for your Operating System.
    • This version of MongoDB is already a requirement for the latest On Premise qTest Manager Version 9.0.
  • Install Node and NPM (Node Package Manager) for your Operating System.
    • Select the download option for the version labeled 'Recommended for Most Users.'

Before You Begin

You will need to collect the information listed below for each project migration so that you can enter your own values into the config file to run the script.

Additionally, you will want to install Scenario v2.0 prior to beginning the migration. You will need to request the download link from our Implementation Team and follow the instructions provided here for your operating system. 

Jira

  • Jira URL-your Jira URL, do not include "/" after the URL.

  • Project Key- access the Jira Project(s) for which you are using Scenario 1.0 so that you can notate the Project Keys.
    • These are located in your Project List in the 'Key' column.

Clone the scenario migration tool from given repository

Clone the migration tool from here and store it at your convenient location on the machine.

Sample Config File for Bitbucket Cloud:

Config_file_example_for_scenario_migration_tool.png

Setup the Config File

Add all the required details as shown in the config file.

Run the Script

You will run the script for each Project Key. Therefore, if you have 3 Projects you will want to run this script for each. We identify the projects using Project key from Jira. 

Edit the Config File

This step is required if you are migrating more than one Project. You must change the Jira credentials according to your project key in the config file every time you run the script. Changing Jira credentials is only necessary if you have multiple Jira instances running Scenario v1.0.

Log File 

A Log file is available for each migration performed and will store in the script folder as 'output.log.' The log file will display the project keys that migrated, the date of migration, and if any errors were received.

Errors

If errors are received, you can edit the config file to correct the errors and rerun the script.

When rerunning the script, if there are existing feature files in your VCS, they will be deleted/updated. Simultaneously, the documents in your MongoDB will be cleared which are associated with that particular Project Key.
