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.

    Select checkbox

  3. Click Copy.

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

    Project dropdown

  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.

    Select folder

  6. Click Copy Test Cases.

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

You can move test cases within the same project to reorganize them while retaining their unique test case IDs. To move test cases between projects, you will need to copy them, which will generate new test case IDs for the copied versions.

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. Bulk selection to 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.

    Select 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.

  • You can move only 300 test cases at a time.

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.

    Select checkboxes

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

    Choose the destination 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.

    Select the destination 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.

Drag and drop the test cases

The drag-and-drop feature simplifies the organization of your test cases within the Test Management. It allows you to rearrange the order of test cases within a folder easily.

The drag-and-drop modifies the order of test cases within the list view on the current viewing page only. It does not move test cases between the pages or folders.

Follow these steps to reorder test cases within a given folder:

  1. Navigate to the test cases folder where you want to rearrange your test cases.
  2. Select the test cases:
    • For moving a single test case, click and hold the drag handle next to the test case ID.
    • For moving multiple test cases, check the boxes next to the test cases you want to move. Once selected, click and hold the drag handle of one of the highlighted test cases.

    click and hold the test cases to drag

  3. Drag the test case to the desired position within the list.
  4. Release the mouse button to drop the test case into its new location.

By following these steps, you can successfully reorder test cases within the list view. This helps maintain a logical sequence of test cases.

Impact on test runs

When you change the order of test cases in the list view, these changes are automatically reflected in the test runs. This ensures that any updates you make to the test case order are consistently applied during test execution, maintaining the intended sequence and structure of your test cases in all relevant test runs.
