  • New test cases appear in the test-case list with "(cloned)" in the title. You can click/open a test case to rename it.

Archive Test Cases

  • Unused test cases can clog up the test library, so you can archive those you aren’t currently using to clean up the space. Archiving removes unwanted test cases from the test library without permanently deleting the testing data.

  • To archive unused test cases, select the test cases you want to move to the archive, then click Archive.

A test cycle is a set of test cases that are grouped to achieve specific testing goals. Test cycles can be assigned to specific testers and test environments, and they offer a comprehensive overview of coordinated testing efforts.
