Copy Test Case to different Project

In software testing, reusing test cases across projects helps maintain consistency, reduce redundancy, and save valuable time. Instead of recreating similar test cases for different projects, you can copy existing ones to streamline your workflow.

This guide provides a step-by-step approach to copying test cases across projects in SimplifyQA, ensuring efficiency and uniformity in test management.

How to Copy a Test Case to another Project?

1. Access the Test Case Module: Log in to SimplifyQA and navigate to the "Test Case" section from the left-hand panel.

2. Select the Test Case to Copy: Locate the test case/s you want to copy using the search bar or filters and select them on clicking the checkbox/s.

3. Use the "Copy to Project" Option: On the test cases page, click the menu dropdown and select the 'Copy across Project' option.

1. Choose the Version:

• A dialog box will appear prompting you to choose the test case version.

• You can also delete the test cases, if it no longer needs to be copied.

• After making all the necessary changes, click on "Copy To" to proceed to the next section.

1. Choose the Destination Project:

• After choosing the required test cases, select the destination project and module.

• From the dropdown menu, choose the project where you want to copy the test case and the module name.

Note: You can only select projects that you have access to.

1. Confirm and Save

• After selecting the project, click 'Review'.

• Review all the details and 'Copy' to complete the process.

1. The test case will now be copied to the selected project.

Best Practices for Copying Test Cases Across Projects

1. Verify Destination Project: Double-check that you are copying the test case to the correct project.

2. Avoid Duplicates: Ensure the test case doesn’t already exist in the destination project to maintain an organised repository.

Why Copy Test Cases to a Different Project?

1. Reuse Test Cases Across Projects: Eliminate the need to recreate similar test cases for different projects.

2. Maintain Consistency: Ensure uniformity in test design across projects.

3. Save Time and Effort: Streamline the process of adapting existing test cases for new projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the test case in the original project be affected if I copy it to another project?

No, the original test case remains unchanged. The copy in the new project is independent of the original.

Can I copy multiple test cases at once?

Depending on your SimplifyQA version, you have the option to select and copy multiple test cases in bulk.

Which features are copied and which are not when I copy a test case?

Copied:

• Selected version.

• Steps along with the options enabled at each step (Ex: Screenshot, skip, etc).

• Test data along with formulas and data iterations.

• Details of the test case (Ex: User story, module, etc).

• Test case settings.

Not Copied:

• Review/Approve status and its details.

• DUO steps of the test case.

• Baseline images and thumbnails.

• Emailer configuration.

• Executions of the original test case.
