Duplicating a test plan

This topic describes how to create a duplicate test plan.

Before you begin

About this task

On the Planning tab in the Test Manager view, navigate to the test plan that you want to duplicate.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the test plan and select Duplicate.
  2. Specify the duplication options in the Duplicate a Test Plan wizard.
    1. In the asset hierarchy select the node that you want to be the parent of the new test plan. The parent can be another test plan or the Test Plans folder. You can select a parent in the same asset registry or in a different asset registry. If you select a different asset registry, the wizard creates iteration records and file location records in that asset registry if necessary.
    2. Specify a name for the new test plan. If you do not specify a name, the wizard uses the name of the test plan you are duplicating. Although you can create multiple test plans with the same name, the ClearQuest record IDs for the test plans are unique.
    3. To create duplicates of all test plans that are children of the test plan you are duplicating, select Copy the child test plans.
    4. To create duplicates of all test cases that are children of the test plan you are duplicating, select Copy the child test cases.
    5. To create duplicates of all configured test cases that are children of the test plan you are duplicating, select Copy the child configured test cases.
    6. To keep the test plan references to iterations, select Copy the references to Iterations.
    7. To keep the test plan and test case references to test motivator files and test scripts, select Keep the references to Test Motivator Files and Scripts.
  3. Click Finish to start the duplication operation. Depending on the number of records involved, the duplication operation might take a considerable amount of time to finish. You can stop the duplication operation by clicking Cancel. If you cancel a duplication operation where the target parent is in a different asset registry, the operation might leave behind some file location records in the target asset registry. You can delete these file location records by right-clicking them in the asset hierarchy and selecting Utilities > Delete.
