TFS 2012->TFS2015 upgrade: Test case migration issue - Bug work item type not in RequirementCategory -


we facing pretty difficult issue , need assistance desperately.hoping can give direction?

detail: have migrated tfs 2012 update 4 tfs 2015 update 1. centralizing our work migrating single team project (for purpose of post i’ll refer centralproject). earlier, teams working in own team projects , testers capturing test plans, test suites , test cases in team projects.

however migrating teams “centralproject” now, need migrate test plans, test suites , test cases centralproject.

to migrate testing artifacts using “mtmcopytool” nice utility during migration facing following error:

“the following work item type not valid: bug. must specify valid work item type belongs category reference name microsoft.requirementcategory.”

to find root cause of issue exported category.xml file (from process template) both projects (the old team specific project new centralproject).

note:

a. have run “configure features” wizard on centralproject , not on team specific project.

b. our team projects (old , new) based on scrum template.

when compared both category.xml files, found bug bug work item categorized microsoft.requirementcategory older team specific project.

<category refname="microsoft.requirementcategory" name="requirement category">   <defaultworkitemtype name="product backlog item" />   <workitemtype name="bug" /> </category> 

whereas centralproject category configuration follows:

<category refname="microsoft.requirementcategory" name="requirement category">   <defaultworkitemtype name="product backlog item" /> </category> 

to fix issue have tried following workarounds:

  1. modified exported category.xml file of centralproject, added bug work item type microsoft.requirementcategory , imported it. after import found following issue (tf400917). error message

when ran feature enablement wizard reset our imported settings reverting category configuration default , again same error mentioned previously.

  1. we tried option configure bug behavior manually , set “bugs appear on backlogs , boards requirements” option still same error mentioned above.

we request guidance solve issue.

please see following references used while performing analysis:

the first reference shows bug work item type indeed under microsoft.requirementcategory category.

the second describes 2 workarounds attempted implement.

try open bug work items in excel, , copy bugs "old" excel "new" excel, , publish them. may errors during publish, check details , edit work items when necessary.
