Import & Export

QAlity lets you export your project data as a JSON file and import it back into any project. All import and export operations are managed from a single Import / Export page inside your project.

Where to find it​

Go to Projects → [your project] → Import / Export.

The page shows a log of all past export and import operations for the project, with the following columns:

ColumnDescription
File nameAuto-generated filename, e.g. export-case-20260504054638.json
TypeWhether the operation was an Export or Import
StatusCompleted or error state
ErrorError message if the operation failed, otherwise -
Updated byThe team member who triggered the operation
Updated dateDate and time the operation was run
ActionsDelete the log entry

Exporting data​

  1. Go to Projects → [your project] → Import / Export.
  2. Click Export in the top right corner.
  3. The Export Data dialog opens. Choose one or more entities to include in the export:
    • Elements
    • Environments
    • Test Cases
    • Suites
    • Plans
  4. Click Export.

QAlity generates a JSON file and downloads it to your computer automatically. The file is named with a timestamp, for example export-case-20260504054638.json. The completed export also appears as a log entry on the Import / Export page.

tip

You can select any combination of entities in a single export. For example, export only Test Cases and Suites together, or export everything at once by checking all five.

info

Individual test cases also have a per-row export shortcut. On the Test Cases list, click the download icon in the Actions column of any row to export that single case directly without going through the Import / Export page.

Importing data​

  1. Go to Projects → [your project] → Import / Export.
  2. Click Import in the top right corner.
  3. The Import JSON dialog opens.
  4. Drag and drop a previously exported JSON file into the drop zone, or click Choose File to select one from your computer.
  5. Click Import.

The import runs and the result appears as a new log entry on the page. If the import fails, the Error column shows the reason.

warning

Only JSON files exported from QAlity are supported. Do not modify the exported file before importing - a malformed or altered file will cause the import to fail.

Exporting from the test cases list​

In addition to the Import / Export page, you can export individual test cases directly from the test case list:

  1. Go to Projects → [your project] → Test Cases.
  2. Select one or more test cases using the checkboxes on the left.
  3. Click Export in the toolbar at the top right.

The selected cases are downloaded as a JSON file immediately. This is a quick way to export a specific subset of cases without going through the full Export Data dialog.

Notes​

  • Exported files are in JSON format. They are not human-editable spreadsheets - they are structured data files intended to be imported back into QAlity.
  • Exports include the data for the selected entities at the time of export. Run results and execution history are not included.
  • When importing into a different project, all entities in the file are created as new records in the target project.
  • There is no automatic deduplication on import. If you import the same file twice into the same project, duplicate records will be created.
