Clone Test Cycle

Users can create a clone of existing test cycles with their test steps.

For example, Testers need test cycles for the next release. These new test cycles may have some common field values as existing test cycles. The test cycle needs to be a copy of the existing test cycle. So they create a copy of the existing test cycle using the Clone feature.

Steps:

1. Hover over the test cycle you want to clone. Three icons become visible now: Execute, Clone and Delete.

2. Click on the Clone icon to create a copy of the existing test cycle.

The Clone Test Cycle pop-up opens.
Below are the options that are available for cloning a test cycle:

Test Cycle Name: Enter the name of the cloned test cycle.
Clone All test cases with the applied filters: The test cases can be filtered based on multiple fields as displayed on the expandable filter panel. Only the filtered test cases will be copied.

Test Case Filters:

→Execution Result

→Execution Assignee

→Components

→Environment

→Defect

→Status

→Labels

To reset the selected values, click Reset Filter Values.
