Migrating test assets to new version of the product
You cannot have two versions of the products installed on your computer at one time. Before you install a new version, uninstall the previous version of the product. If you update the product with IBM® Installation Manager, you do not have to uninstall the previous version.
Uninstalling a previous version does not delete your test assets.
When you open a project that contains an older test asset, a message is displayed in the Test Navigator view. Typically, you upgrade your tests, schedules, and rules.

If you leave tests, schedules, and rules unchanged, they will not have the new functions that current release adds. You can always save a modified test asset under a new name, which preserves the older asset. You can identify an older asset by its version, which is listed in brackets:
