To migrate Squad test case history to Scale, the system combines data from the Jira issue history and the Test Details History tab.

From the Test Details History tab, the system fetches data about the changes made to Squad test steps.

From the Jira Issue History tab, the system fetches the available data.

After getting the data from both Squad histories, the system sorts it based on the time a change was made (sort by date and time to get the right order). Once the data is sorted, the system imports it to Scale as a separate change event to the test case.
