# Bulk Export Test Cases

> Learn to bulk export data quality test cases in Collate as CSV files, at the table, test suite, or platform-wide scope.

# Bulk Export Test Cases

Exporting test cases to a CSV file gives you a copy of your test case metadata to review offline, or a template you can edit and re-import. You can export test cases for a single table, for a test suite, or across your entire platform.

For more information about what each column in the file means, see the [CSV Field Reference](/how-to-guides/data-quality-observability/quality/import-export-test-cases).

## Bulk Export Test Cases for a Table

To export test cases scoped to a single table:

1. In the left navigation menu, click **Explore**, and select the table whose test cases you want to export.
2. Navigate to the **Data Observability** tab.
3. In the **Data Quality** tab, click **Test Cases** if not selected.

## Export Using API

You can also export test cases using the API with the following endpoints:

`GET /api/v1/dataQuality/testCases/name/{name}/export`

`GET /api/v1/dataQuality/testCases/name/{name}/exportAsync`

Replace `{name}` with the Fully Qualified Name (FQN) of the table or test suite you're exporting from, or with `*` to export every test case in the instance. The `exportAsync` endpoint runs the export as a background job and is what the UI uses; `export` returns the CSV synchronously.
