The document provides step-by-step instructions for transferring test cases from Excel to TestLink. It describes exporting test cases from an existing Test Suit in TestLink to an XML file, importing that XML file into a new Excel spreadsheet to add or modify test cases, and then saving and importing the Excel file back into TestLink. The process allows test cases to be created and managed in Excel and then transferred to the TestLink test management system.
