XStudio 1.5: Microsoft Word document parser

Before using a real Test Management system, people often use Microsoft Word to write their requirements or specifications.

With XStudio 1.5, a tool allowing to read all your Word documents and generate an XML file will be delivered. Hence, you will be able to import very simply all your requirements/specifications in XStudio:
  • Install and run Export from Word v2.0
  • Indicate a type of export (Flat or Deep)
  • Indicate the root folder containing all the Word documents
  • Press "Generate XML"
  • Open XStudio and import the generated file
1) the "Deep" mode reads the Word document and will interpret any "leaf" tree node as a requirement. All its parent chapters will be imported as folders in the requirement tree
2) the "Flat" mode reads on the summary of the Word document and import any entry (inluding the head numbering)
