3.9Migration Considerations

If you are migrating from one platform to another:

• Export first: Most platforms support CSV or XML export. Test the export before committing to migration.
• Map fields: Not all fields map 1:1 between platforms. Plan the field mapping before importing.
• Preserve traceability links: Losing links between test cases and requirements is the biggest risk.
• Migrate incrementally: Start with active test suites. Migrate archived suites only if needed.
• Allow parallel operation: Run both old and new platforms for 2-4 weeks to verify the migration.
