Create a Test Plan From a cURL Command
</p>
<ol>
<li>To create an import from a cURL, open the <span class="code">Tools</span> menu and click <span class="code">Import from cURL</span>.

<figcaption>Figure 1 - The menu where curl is located</figcaption>
</figure>
</li>
<li>There are two ways to enter the curl command line. Firstly, we can enter it manually. Secondly, we can import a file containing the curl command line.
This tool supports input of multiple curl command lines at the same time.
