Upload Bugs Database

I have been able to convert our current Bugs Database into a Excel or .CSV file. How can I upload these bugs into VSTS without manually entering in the information.

    Export the bugs that are currently contained within your TFS team project into a new excel spreadsheet. Cut and paste the text from your current Bugs Database spreadsheet into the new excel spreadsheet, you may need to massage the data a little in order to get user id's to match and you may also need to adjust what columns are shown in order to import something not shown by default.

    Works good so far but how to import bugs including their history this way Thats my problem

  • haitham ibrahim

    History wouldn't be shown coverted this way.  The only way that you would be able to do that would be to either write a program to consume the base data and call the TFS Workitems webservices or the other option would be to print out the history and put it into a field as a sort of legacy history.

    As kayers states, you would need to write a converter if you wish to keep the history, etc. There is a work item tracking object model documented in the Visual Studio Extensibility SDK March CTP (http://vsipdev.com), so you don't need to call the web services directly (using the OM is much more convenient).
