Case Study: Emerson Electric Co. achieves 100% successful migration from HP QC 9.2 to TFS 2015 with Kovair Software's QuickSync

How Emerson Successfully Migrated Data from HP QC 9.2 to TFS 2015 Using Kovair QuickSync

Emerson Electric Co. needed to migrate thousands of accumulated QA artifacts from HP QC 9.2 to Microsoft TFS 2015 while preserving test investments, complex hierarchical folders, interrelationships (links via Test Run, Run Step and Test Instance), attachments, and mapped users. Facing no out‑of‑the‑box connectivity between the cross‑vendor tools, contrasting data models, project‑merging rules and even lack of access to HP QC 9.2 for development, Emerson engaged Kovair Software to deliver a reliable, cost‑effective migration using Kovair QuickSync.

Kovair Software implemented Kovair QuickSync with codeless configurations to map projects, entities, fields and users, performed shakeout testing, then executed an automated production migration. QuickSync preserved hierarchies and relationships (HP QC Defects → TFS Bugs; Tests → TFS Test Cases), migrated attachments, comments and user data, provided monitoring/logs and validation reports, and included retry support. The result: thousands of records migrated with 100% migration and zero failure, validated per‑project reports, and the full transition from HP QC 9.2 to TFS 2015 completed in an incremental rollout over a few months.
