About this task
Use this feature when you want a project grouping to contain the same tasks as another project grouping.
Build managers will find this operation useful when populating one project grouping (for example, system testing) with tasks from another project grouping (for example, integration testing). Typically, build managers want to do this because the application is at a point where they are ready to produce an installation area that meets a quality standard.
Removing tasks from a project grouping is the first step when you are ready to copy tasks to a new project grouping. Build managers can use the following flow as a guide:
- Right-click over the target system testing project grouping, and choose the Remove All Tasks action to empty the project grouping.
- Right-click over the source integration testing project grouping, and choose the Copy All Tasks action.
- Right-click over the target system testing project grouping and use the Paste action to copy all the tasks from the integration testing project grouping to the system testing project grouping.
The following steps show how to remove tasks.
- In the Projects explorer, right-click over the appropriate project grouping and select Remove All Tasks.
A confirmation dialog box appears, requesting confirmation. If you click OK, the tasks are removed from the project grouping, but still exist in the database.
