Rules and Recommendations for Project Migration
Qualitia recommends that you run the QFD Migration Utility on any of the Qualitia client machines. Ensure that the selected Qualitia client machine already have the prerequisites for running the utility and the project folders are integrated with version control systems (SVN).
QAS 8.01.x server must be installed before you start the QFD project migration.
QAS 8.01.x server must be configured with the same database management (MySQL or Microsoft SQL) as QFD server. For example, if the QFD server is configured with MySQL, then QAS server must also be configured using MySQL.
You must upgrade to QFD version 4.3.11 before migrating your QFD projects.
Ensure that you have access to:
QFD database
SVN (if it is integrated with QFD)
QAS 8.01.x database
Update the project path to the latest versions of test cases and tasks.
Plan the migration as the process may take more time for large projects.
For a better turn-around time for the migration process, Qualitia recommends using a computer with the following configuration:
16 GB RAM or more
Quad-Core Processor
5GB Free Disk Space or more
Close all the programs for better performance
