Import/Export Test Cases
Learn how to import and export test cases in Vexdata, both individually and in bulk, to streamline your data validation workflows.
Overview
Vexdata provides flexible import and export capabilities for test cases, allowing you to backup, share, and migrate your data validation configurations. You can export and import test cases either individually or in bulk.
Export Test Cases
Export Individual Test Case
To export a single test case:
Navigate to the Test Cases page
Locate the test case you want to export in the test cases list
Click the three-dot menu (⋮) icon on the right side of the test case row
Select Export from the dropdown menu
The test case will be downloaded as a JSON file to your computer
Visual Guide: The three-dot menu (⋮) appears in each test case row and includes options for Variables, Clone, Export, and Delete. The Export option will trigger an immediate download of the test case as a JSON file.
Export Multiple Test Cases (Bulk Export)
To export multiple test cases at once:
Navigate to the Test Cases page
Select the checkboxes next to the test cases you want to export
Click the More dropdown button in the top toolbar
Select Export Test Cases from the dropdown menu
All selected test cases will be downloaded as a JSON file
Alternative Method:
To export all test cases without selection, simply click More > Export Test Cases without selecting any checkboxesThis will export all test cases in your project
Import Test Cases
Import Single Test Case
To import a single test case:
Navigate to the Test Cases page
Click the More dropdown button in the top toolbar
Select Import Single Test Case from the dropdown menu
Browse and select the JSON file containing the test case
Click Open to import
The test case will be added to your project
Import Multiple Test Cases (Bulk Import)
To import multiple test cases at once:
Navigate to the Test Cases page
Click the More dropdown button in the top toolbar
Select Import Bulk TestS from the dropdown menu
Browse and select the JSON file containing multiple test cases
Click Open to import
All test cases from the file will be added to your project
File Format
Test cases are exported and imported in JSON format. The exported file contains:
Test case configurationSource and target dataset informationTest type and validation rulesMappings and variablesAll metadata associated with the test case
Use Cases
Backup and Recovery
Regularly export your test cases to create backupsRestore test cases if needed
Environment Migration
Export test cases from a development environmentImport them into staging or production environments
Team Collaboration
Share test case configurations with team membersImport standardized test cases across projects
Template Creation
Export commonly used test cases as templatesImport and modify them for new projects
Additional Bulk Operations
When test cases are selected, the More menu provides additional bulk operations:
Copy Test Cases - Duplicate selected test casesAdd Test Cases to Batch - Add multiple test cases to a batch for executionDelete Test Cases - Remove selected test cases from the projectManage Labels - Apply or modify labels for selected test cases
Tips and Best Practices
Ensure: Replicate project-level variables from the source project in the target project. If these variables are utilized in the source project and present in the exported test cases, they must also be created in the target project.
The test case level variables will be exported and imported in the new project.
Important Notes
Exported test cases retain their original Test Case IDsWhen importing, ensure the source and target datasets referenced in the test cases exist in your projectIf datasets don't exist, you may need to update the test case configurations after importBulk operations are more efficient when working with large numbers of test cases
