This script can be used to convert TestLink XML files to TestRail’s XML import file format. To export your test cases in TestLink, select Specification and click on the test suite sub-tree you want to export. From the right side, select Export Test Suite and save the XML file.
The script converts a tree of a TestLink test specification into a single test suite of TestRail. The tree structure is represented with sections and subsections in TestRail. To import a converted file into TestRail, create an empty test suite; then choose the import button from the toolbar.
Unlike TestRail, TestLink uses HTML for formatting test case properties. The script tries to convert these fields into TestRail’s text format (markdown) where possible.
Download
You can download the latest versions of the TestLink migration scripts here (please see the comments regarding TestLink versions below):

A script to migrate your TestLink test cases to TestRail
Please notice the separate test step configuration below
TestLink 1.8 or earlier migration
A script to migrate your TestLink test cases to TestRail
Versions
Please note that TestLink has a new XML export format starting with TestLink 1.9. That’s why we have separate conversion scripts for TestLink 1.8 or earlier versions, and TestLink 1.9 or later. TestLink 1.9 is using separate fields for different test steps and the conversion script is converting the steps to separate steps in TestRail as well. Make sure to configure the test steps in TestRail accordingly if you want to convert test cases from TestLink 1.9 or later to TestRail.
Usage
