Copying Test Suites in Bulk

The Copy Test Suite in Bulk feature lets you duplicate multiple existing Test Suites for a different release, cycle, or platform configuration. You can select which settings to copy (such as platforms, test case versions, assignees, and execution data) and which to reset.

To copy test suites in bulk, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the Test Suites module.

  2. Click the Cog (⚙️) icon and select Bulk Operations.

  3. Select Copy.

  4. Select Test Suites (or select all) and click Next.

  5. Select the destination folder and choose one of the copy options:

    • Copy with Existing Release and Cycle

    • Copy by Linking New Release and Cycle

    • Copy by Linking New Release and Cycle

Note

  • If e-Signature is enabled:

    • Only the latest approved and unarchived versions of Test Cases are copied.

    • The following are always reset automatically:

      • Assignee

      • Planned Date

      • Execution Status set to Not Run.

Copy Existing Release and Cycle

This option creates a duplicate of the Test Suite under its current Release and Cycle. Use it when you need a second version of the suite in the same testing context.

The system excludes different fields from copying depending on whetherReset Execution Status to Not Run is selected or cleared. Please read the Notes on your screen to know more.
