Many companies eventually face the need to switch their test management software. Reasons vary—from evolving organizational structures to new technical integrations. With proper planning, a test management migration keeps processes stable and retains valuable data.
The Q12-TMT Test Management Tool from mgm technology partners offers a modern solution for migration. It combines flexibility and ease of use with streamlined data migration. But how do you make the switch without extra risk or hassle? This article breaks down the key steps and highlights what testers, test managers, and decision-makers should keep in mind.
Why Migration Becomes Necessary
Test management systems drive development and quality assurance. If these systems no longer meet your needs, inefficiencies emerge. Missing integrations can slow down entire teams. Migrating to a new solution unlocks modern features and ensures future-readiness.
For a successful transition, test cases, test plans, executions, and user info must carry over completely and transparently. That’s the only way to preserve test quality and visibility.
Practical Data Migration with Q12-TMT
During a Q12-TMT migration, key assets from legacy systems transfer smoothly:
- Detailed test cases
- Execution histories and results
- Links to defect records
- User roles and project assignments
This ensures testers stay productive without a learning curve.
Q12-TMT also improves daily work with a modern interface and customizable task views. Onboarding becomes easy thanks to training materials and well-designed tutorials.
Four Steps to a Safe Software Switch
The migration follows a proven structure:
- Preparation and Planning
Analyze your current setup. Define the scope and timeline. Align on requirements. - Technical Migration
Export, transform, and import data using interfaces and scripts. - Quality Checks
Validate sample data. Gather feedback. Apply corrections. - Training and Go-Live
Introduce users. Launch the new system with hands-on support.
This step-by-step process minimizes risk and ensures a smooth switch—whether you run on-premises or in the cloud.
Experience and Reliability Matter
mgm technology partners brings 30+ years of enterprise software experience. With over 60 successful migrations, the team knows how to handle tools like TestRail, Klaros, Jira plugins, Excel-based solutions, and others.
Data protection remains a top priority. Hosting and migration follow GDPR guidelines, with processing in certified German data centers or on-site. Personal data stays within approved boundaries.
Who Benefits from a Q12-TMT Migration support?
Testers, managers, and procurement teams all benefit from a well-thought-out migration plan. Data stays intact, workflows improve, and the new solution supports modern testing needs.
Companies with complex legacy systems and unique demands gain a safe, scalable way to modernize their test management environment.
In Summary
Test management migration takes planning and expertise. But switching software shouldn’t feel like a risk—it should drive better processes.
