# Import & Synchronise BPMN Diagrams

In this article we'll cover Importing and synchronising an existing BPMN diagram into a new or existing Quality Modeller model, allowing for Test Case and automation code generation, and test data specification.

To get started, open a new model, on an existing one to merge the BPMN diagram into. We'll start with an empty model.

To import a BPMN file go to the Connectors panel, then select BPMN from the Import Menu.

Select the BPMN file to import and if you would like swimlanes to be imported as well (off by default).

After clicking import an overview of the changes that have been made is displayed. In this case, as we were starting from an empty model all of the blocks were added.

On clicking close you'll see the imported BPMN available in modeller.

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is a flow-chart diagramming standard, normally used to depict end-to-end business activities. These diagrams are mostly used to show how business processes function.

Test cases are equivalent to paths through the model of a system under test. They are generated automatically from a model, with or without test data and test automation associated with them. Test Modeller has coverage techniques using advanced algorithms to generate the smallest set of test cases needed to test given features with a required level of rigour.
