Cloning tests
Clone tests to the current or other project
You can clone tests within the same project or clone them to another project to which you are a member, even if the project is not in the currently selected Company. The new cloned test will have “Clone of” added as a prefix to both the description and the name.
What happens after cloning
| Cloning to another project | Cloning to same project | |
|---|---|---|
| Branch settings | Cloned to the master branch of the target project | The same branch as the original test. |
| Shared steps | Will become unshared and duplicated. If multiple tests use the same shared step, each test will receive its own copy of the step, breaking any links between them. | Clones the shared step without duplicating. |
| Test configuration | Will reset to default based on the project type: - Mobile Web - Default will be set to iPhone 6/7/8. - Web and Mobile Native - The configuration will be labeled as “untitled” with values appropriate for the project type. | Clones the test configuration. |
| Mobile native apps | Tests with library apps will be cloned without the app. You will have to assign the app manually. Tests with apps from a device will keep the app details. | Clones the native apps without the need for reassignment. |
| Test owner | Test owner will not be assigned to the test. | Remains with the same test owner |
