What you’ll learn
  • How to import test cases from CSV (TestDino, TestRail, or custom) and JSON
  • The step-by-step import wizard flow
  • Three export options: JSON, JSON with Attachments (ZIP), and CSV
Import and export test cases from the ⋮ menu in Test Management. Import brings test cases from external tools or previous exports. Export saves your test cases for backup, migration, or offline use.
RecommendationUse JSON for flexible and easy import — it preserves the full suite hierarchy, steps, tags, and all metadata with no manual mapping. For even faster test creation, use the TestDino MCP Server to create and manage test cases directly from your IDE.

​
Import

Access Import from the ⋮ menu → Import. The Import Wizard guides you through a step-by-step process.

Supported formats

​
Templates

Download a sample JSON or CSV template to properly map test cases and their fields before importing. Templates show the expected field names, hierarchy structure, and data types so your import maps correctly on the first attempt.

​
CSV import flow

  1. Upload — Drag-and-drop or browse to select a .csv file. Choose the source platform (TestDino, TestRail, or Other CSV).
  2. Map Columns — Map each CSV column to a TestDino field. For TestDino and TestRail sources, columns are auto-mapped. Switch between the Column Mapping and Preview tabs to verify.
  3. Configure — Choose the target suite and set default values for unmapped fields.
  4. Preview & Import — Review the final data and click Import to create the test cases.

​
JSON import flow

  1. Upload — Drag-and-drop or browse to select a .json file. Click Preview to inspect the contents before proceeding.
  2. Configure & Import — Review the detected suites and test cases, then import.
JSON import preserves the full suite hierarchy, test steps, tags, classification, automation fields, and custom field values from the export. JSON Import Wizard showing uploaded file with detected suites and test case count

​
Export

Access Export from the ⋮ menu → Export. Three options are available:
OptionWhat It Includes
Export JSONAll (or selected) test cases as a .json file with full metadata, suite structure, and steps
JSON with Attachments (ZIP)Same as JSON, plus all attached files bundled into a .zip archive
Export CSV (Legacy)Flat .csv file for compatibility with spreadsheets and other tools

​
Export selected test cases

If you have test cases selected via checkboxes, the export includes only the selected test cases. Otherwise, it exports all test cases in the project. A progress banner appears at the top of the page while the export is being prepared. Export menu showing Export Selected with JSON, JSON with Attachments, and CSV options
TipUse JSON export for full-fidelity backups and migration. Use CSV export when you need to open test cases in a spreadsheet or import into a non-TestDino tool.
