Manage and organize Test Cases with Copy or Move

You can copy or move Test Cases across projects to manage and organize test cases based on the project priorities.

Easily manage your testing workflow by copying or moving test cases between projects and folders.

Copy test cases across projects

Copying test cases allows you to create duplicates for reuse across different projects or folders. Each copied test case is an exact replica of the original, preserving all field values at the time of copying. Remember, subsequent modifications to the original test case will not affect the copied version, ensuring independent management.

Key benefits

• Efficient test case reuse
  Quickly replicate test cases, including all field values, within the same project or across different projects.

• Flexible organization
  Copy individual or multiple test cases into existing folders or create new folders for better organization.

• Independent test case versions
  Changes made to the original test case will not affect the copied version, allowing for separate management.

Follow these steps to copy test cases:

1. Go to the project containing the test cases you want to copy.

2. Select the checkboxes next to the desired test cases.

   

3. Click Copy.

4. Choose the Target Project from the drop-down menu (the default is the current project).

   

5. You can copy the test cases to:
   • An existing folder.
   • Click Create Folder for a new folder.
   • Click the options menu (three vertical dots) and Add Sub Folder in the existing folder.

   

6. Click Copy Test Cases.

A success notification confirms the copy and provides a link to the destination folder.

Move test cases within a project

Reorganize test cases within the same project without creating duplicates.

To move a test case to another folder:

1. Select the test case you want to move. You can move multiple test cases at a time.
2. Click Move.
3. You can move the test cases to:
   • An existing folder.
   • A new folder by clicking Create Folder.
   • A subfolder within an existing folder by clicking the options menu (three vertical dots) and selecting Add Sub Folder.

   

4. Click Move Test Cases.

A success notification confirms the test cases are moved to the new destination folder.

Move test cases across projects

Moving test cases in Test Management retains the same identifier, keeping all existing test case details and links to automation. Unlike copying, which creates a new identifier, moving preserves all connections to test runs and test case results within the same project.

To retain custom fields and their values when you move test cases, ensure they are mapped to both the source and destination projects. If any custom fields and their values are mapped only to the source project, those fields will be dropped.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have the create access in Test Management to move test cases.

How to move test cases

1. Go to the project containing the test cases you want to move.

2. Select the checkboxes next to the desired test cases.

   

3. Click Move.

4. Choose the destination project from the dropdown menu (the default is the current project).

   

5. You can move the test cases to:
   • An existing folder.
   • A new folder by clicking Create Folder.
   • A subfolder within an existing folder by clicking the options menu (three vertical dots) and selecting Add Sub Folder.

   

6. Click Move Test Cases.

A success notification confirms the move and provides a link to the destination folder. Following these steps will ensure your test cases are moved successfully and retain all relevant links and details.
