我们如何将测试用例从 Microsoft Foundation Server (TFS) 导出为 excel 格式？

Question

I have test cases created in Team Foundation server, now I want to export those test cases from Microsoft foundation server(TFs) to excel format for the reporting purpose. We do have in-built option of exporting test,email or print in word format, but Is it possible to write some python code to export the tests cases directly into excel sheet.

Answer 1

Export to Excel(work item type):

You can use below way to export test cases(work items) from TFSto MS excel:

1. Define a query for the test case you want to export. Create new query for all test case -> specify Work Item Type = Test case.

2. Connect in MS excel. MS excel -> Team ribbon -> New List -> Servers -> add -> input VSTS URL( https://tfsseverurl.com ) -> OK -> Close -> select a team project -> connect -> choose Query list -> select the query you just created -> OK.

Now all the test cases are export to MS excel. And you can click Choose Columns to add or remove displayed columns which corresponding to selective fields.

Note: This will not include test steps. For test steps, it's still a user voice:

Exporting Test Cases with Steps to Word/Excel You could kindly vote up and track the progress.

Another way is using Offline Test Execution extension . You can export the entire test plan, or a filtered selection, to an Excel file. Filter the export to the entire test plan, the selected suite with or without children, configuration and/or tester before exporting.

This will view test cases offline in excel as below. But this Add-in can eventually only update the stuff in existing Test Cases. for Ex. You can export scripts to Excel and make them Pass/Fail/Block and again import the Sheet. But if you need to do a fresh Import of Test Cases which you are not able to do.

But this solution also have a limitation, it will not allow you to be able select with some selective fields.

Hope it helps.
