How-to: Migrating Plans and Suits

[MrHinsh]

Migrating Plans and Suits is quite convoluted since Shared Steps, which we need to map, can’t have a custom field.

1. Migrate Basic Work Items
2. Migrate Test Cases with their Shared Steps and Shared Parameter
3. Migrate Test Variables & Test Configurations
4. Rebuild Test Plans & Test Suits

WARNING: The configs below are for illustration and were correct as of the version number in the Version field.

Great article!
I tried to follow it and it works fine. But I have a question just to understand what happens.
What is actually the difference between step 1 and 2? I see that step 2 has the config for FieldtoFieldMapConfig and it also include Test Case in the filter.
In my test migration, step 1 took about 2 hours and step 2 took about 1 hour.

First I thought that step 2 would only migrate test cases, but in the logs it looks like it goes through all work items again.
