If you have a lot of existing test cases in another test management system or file format such as Excel, you might want to convert those test cases to TestRail.
TestRail allows you to import test cases via a simple XML file format or directly from CSV/Excel files. We also have additional scripts to migrate more complex CSV files or files from other test management tools. You can learn more about the different options below.
