Hello @preethi gardas 

Are you interested about migration an ALM into Atlassian, using Xray as the test management tool?

The short response if that it can be done. It's not trivial but when done right, helped many people achieve better flow and impact, save costs, and make better products.

Here are a couple of resources to get started:

Webinar I hosted about optimizing ALM in Atlassian 
Customer case about a bank moving from HP ALM to Xray 


I work extensively in this space and helped many large organizations move their ALM into Atlassian. I am happy to answer any specific follow-up questions you might have.

Hello @preethi gardas 

Thanks for the follow-up question. I think your question is too wide for something that can be adequately addressed here.
Migrating from ALM to Jira Xray is a non-trivial project, and I would highly recommend you get a subject matter expert involved. This is probably the first step, and this will save you a lot of time and problems.

Maybe start by asking the expert to help review your current state and the business objectives you are hoping to achieve.

Hi @preethi gardas

Migrating from ALM to Xray can require some careful planning, especially when it comes to syncing test cases, requirements, defects, and test runs. Here are a few things to consider:

• What Needs to Be Moved? Think about the relationships between test cases and requirements, or defects and test runs. It’s important to ensure these links are preserved during the migration.
• Data Structure Compatibility: ALM and Xray have different ways of organizing data, so you’ll need to plan how to map those structures to avoid losing any important connections.
• Maintaining Data Fidelity: Make sure test histories and defect statuses are accurately migrated. It’s important to preserve the full context and details of your data without any loss in translation.

 In your scenario or case, you may want to explore, an enterprise –grade migration tool, OpsHub Migration Manager (OMM), an Atlassian Partner. It can help you with zero-downtime, full-fidelity migration between ALM and Xray. Whether you need to migrate data in stages or perform a complete migration, OMM ensures that historical data, attachments, comments, and field mappings are preserved without any data loss.
