Test Information Export Overview
When you export a test, MTS TestSuite combines the current test and its associated files into one
compressed (and self-contained) file and assigns an extension of “tsproj”.
Exported tests can be managed with the operating system. Unexported tests must be managed within the
MTS TestSuite application.
You can selectively export test and test run information. When you initiate an export, you can choose the
item or items from the test hierarchy to export. With tests, for example, you can selectively export only the
information that you want to import into new or existing tests.
Export options
You can use options from the File menu or right-click entries in the test hierarchy to export:
• A test
• One or more test runs
• Raw data from a test run
Raw test data export
You can export the raw data for a test run so that you can analyze it with external software applications.
By default, raw data is exported to one or more tab-delimited text files that can be opened with most external
analytical or statistical applications. Each Data Acquisition activity in the source test procedure produces
a separate data export file.
Test Information Import Overview
You can import test and test run information from previously exported test and test run files. Export files
have a .tsproj file name extension. When you import an entire test, any test that is currently open closes
and a new test is created from the imported test file. When you import test runs, you can select the test
runs you want to import into the open test.
Import options
You can import:
• A test
• Test runs
