Migrating From Other Bug Tracking Systems to VSTS


hi all!

It is i think a very general query nowadays from the ppl using or moving to VSTS. We are using Test Director 8.0 . Now as we are planning to move to VSTS , we want all the previous work (bugs, Requierments etc) to get migrate to VSTS as its work items.

I have searched the net, what i found was a converter only for Clear Quest. MS i think is working on convertors for other tools as well. But do each of us have to wait all that long to get a convertor for the particular tool we are using. And my guess is Test Director is a widely used tool for Bug Tracking.

Regards

You can write a simple tool to do the migration. The tool will read the data from "Test Director" and then using WI OM save it in Team Foundation. Here is a link on WI extensibility to get you started on WI OM:

If you have any question or need any help, please feel free to let me know.

Two-way synchronizer between Mercury Quality Center / TestDirector and VSTS.

We are almost done with this, just about to release a final version of it. You can download the version from the site, try it out and give feedback on how you see it working.
