Clone Test Cases

Learn how to quickly duplicate existing Test Cases, save time and maintain consistency in tests.

Users can quickly create a new Test Case based on an existing one by cloning it. This action copies the current default version of Test Steps and all other fields within a Test Case, so you users don't have to rewrite similar scenarios from scratch.

The Clone Test Case action is available in the More options menu (three dots) on work items that are of the work-type configured as Test Case in the Testing Project.

The action is only available to users who have the Create work item permission in the current Jira project. Additionally, if the user has the Link work items permission in the project, ATM will automatically create links between the original and the cloned Test Case.

How to clone a Test Case?

1. Open the Test Case of choice you want to clone.

2. In the Test Case of choice, click the More menu (three dots) and select Clone Test Case.

3. In the new dialog, users can adjust the Summary and Description field of the new work item.

4. After confirming the action, the app creates a new Test Case in the same project with the following details:

   1. Test Steps

      1. All steps from the default Test Steps version at the time of cloning.

   2. Other fields

      1. All non-system fields of the original Test Case (e.g., custom fields, components, labels, priority, etc.), according to user's configuration.

      2. These values are taken as they are at the moment of cloning.

Work item links between original and clone

If a user has the Link work items permission in the project, the app will automatically create links between the two Test Cases:

• On the new (cloned) Test Case:

  • A link of type clones pointing to the original Test Case.

• On the original Test Case:

  • A link of type is cloned by pointing to the new Test Case.

If the user doesn’t have the Link work items permission, the clone is still created, but these links are not added.
