Copying Test Plans
To reuse test plans, you can copy one or more of them.
You can:
Copy without test packages
Copy with test packages
With or without test package assignments to testers
If you copy without assignments, you can reassign the test packages to testers.
With or without messages which are assigned to the test package and are still open
If you copy messages, you can also filter them by status. By default, those messages are selected which imply follow-up activities:
On the
Test Case Error
tab page, you can select the status of messages concerning damaged test cases.On the
Incident (IT Management)
tab page, you can select the status of messages concerning functional errors.
With or without sequencing rules.
A sequence defined in the test plan settings allows, for example, a test case only to be executed if a preceding test case has been executed.
When copying single test plans, you can choose between English and German as the original language of the copy.
