Users can link existing Test Cycles with Test Plans.
Steps
Open the test plan detail page.
Open the Test Cycles tab and click on Link Test Cycles.
The Link Test Cycles screen opens.
Filter Test Cycles
A. You can browse Test Cycles as per the test cycle folder on the tree. It will help you narrow down the test cycle search.
B. You can also apply filters to the list and search individual test cycles by "Key" or “Summary” through the search box.
C. You can also apply additional advanced filters like Priority, Status, Fix Versions, etc. to narrow down the search criteria. Fix Versions and Sprint also display cross project values to filter out test cycle records of multiple projects.
Note: A maximum of 10 filters, including system as well as custom fields, can be selected at a time.
D. Hide Already Linked Test Cycle: Check the Hide Already Linked Test Cycle to avoid the display of those test cycles on the screen which are already linked to the test plan. It prevents linking of the same test cycles with the test plan again.
Select the test cycles you want to link with the Test Cycle and click either of the following buttons:
Link: You can link the selected test cycles with the test plan. Select the test cycles to be linked with the test plan and click on the Link button. Once test cycles are linked, the Link Test Cycles screen still remains open to let you link further test cycles.
Link & Close: You can link the selected test cycles with the test plan and close the pop-up. Select the test cycles to be linked with the test plan and click on the Link & Close button.
You can see the test cycle(s) are linked to the test plan.
Unlink Test Cycles
You can unlink a single test cycle or multiple test cycles at a time.
A. Unlink a Single Test Cycle: Hover the mouse over the linked test cycle record. The unlink icon becomes visible. Click on the unlink icon.
B. Unlink Test Cycles in Bulk: Select the test cycles that you want to unlink and then click on the Unlink Test Cycles button.
The warning message pops up on the screen. Click Unlink to proceed.
