linking test suits to test cases while import from Excel to RQM

rachel bruk (17●1●14) | asked Mar 19 '17, 12:19 p.m.

 Hi,
I'd like to use the Excel importer in order to import test suits and test cases and link them.

I found on example in the samples under IBM folder, but I want to link test cases to many test suits - and not to repeat the instance of test case.
Is there a way to do that by one Excel sheet?

If you don't want to repeat the artifacts in the same Excel file, I can't see a way to make n:m links between the artifacts. When the Excel file is processed, I believe it is always from the top to bottom, and it cannot do a "loop" as in a programming language.

 Thanks Donald,

But couldn't I insert the test suit name/id in the top record and in the next records the test case id's?
for example:
TS ID:          123
TC ID:
1220
1221
1222

is there a way to link between the first record to the next records? n:m links?

Thanks in advance.

 if there this way is impossible - maybe we can do it by linking Existing ID's,

for example:
TS ID:       TC ID:
1               23452
1               35467
2               35461
1               46275

By this way I don't have the duplicate artifacts issue - is it possible to implement?

The examples that you showed above are both 1:n. In this case, you can find plenty of samples bundled with the ExcelImporter. But I understand that you want to link many test cases to many test suites, aka n:m. No?
