Hello,

I've been monitoring your project for the last couple of months and think it has a lot of potential. I have found that there exists a high barrier of entry for me.

Currently, I maintain a test library which consists of ~400 hundred word documents. Each word document has a series of steps, anywhere from a few to 20.

When evaluating your system I see that each step for a test case is a seperate entity (requiring specific button clicks to add new steps).

To port my test library to Klaros creating 400*20 steps isn't appealing.

How have other users made this transition or am I missing something basic?

Thanks!

My focus is on #2. How can I get best get all of the data I currently have into Klaros in a timely and easy fashion.

The way I see it there are currently two options:

1) Cut and paste from my word documents into Klaros. The main drawback to this approach (other than the obvious) is that Klaros holds each step of a test case in an individual field. I can't just grab the steps section of my current tests and drop them in. Instead, it is add new step, cut and paste data, add new step, repeat.... I do realize that this is part of the fundamental design of Klaros.

2) Change my word documents into XML as defined by your import file format. My work estimation on this is it is probably more work to do this than just cut and paste.

So a fundamental question then....

Assume a test organization currently maintains there test data in flat files (word, text, ....). What approach do other uses take to get their data into Klaros?
