"Export Test Cases from TFS to Excel".... now available for DOWNLOAD

Thanks all for having look on my blog and appreciating my effort.
All these days I was getting emails from people asking about where they can download this tool.
As I mentioned before also that I was working on few modifications in the tool and also I was bit busy, so got bit delayed... :)

But now the wait is over. "Test Case Export to Excel 1.0" is now available for download along with few enhancements.

As mentioned in the previous post, user has to first connect to the Team Foundation Server and then to the Team Project. After connecting to the Team Project, the Test Plans were populated in the dropdown box; and based on the selection of the Test Plan the Test Suites at the root level were being populated in the next dropdown box. Thus, the user has the limitation to select only the Test Suite present directly under Test Plan, also all the test cases that were present under the selected Test Suite and Sub Suites will be exported.

But now in the enhanced version i.e. "Test Case Export to Excel 1.0" user gets the complete view of the Test Plans and all the Test Suite in the form of tree structure, similar to the way it is displayed in MS Test Manager. Also, user is now having the flexibility select the test cases he/she wants to export. He/She can either choose to export the test cases present under the selected Test Suite or to export test cases present under selected Test Suite and its Sub Suites. Below is the screenshot of the enhanced version of the tool.


If you want to download the tool you can download it from the following codeplex site:
http://exporttfs2excel.codeplex.com/

Please post your comments or suggestions on this tool. Also, if you face any issues in the tool, please let me know.

Thanks

As of now the tool will not be able to export the test cases if it includes Shared steps, as Shared Steps as managed as different work items in TFS.

Will try to address this issue in further release.

Is it possible to fix it in future?

Hi Raghav,
Few days ago I downloaded the "Test Case Export To Excel", it worked pretty well. But today, when I use it again, I get a problem. I have 5 test cases in the suite, but the application only exports 3 of them. I've tried many times, but this problem is still exist. Do you have any idea about this issue?

Thanks,
Ngoc Vo

At first thanks for the useful tool.
One of the features which I would like to see there is the ability to show the hierarchy of test suites in the Excel file as it appears in Test Manager.
So let's say if a new suite starts in Excel, there can be a colored row in it with Test Suite name.
