Reuse Scenarios

Reuse Actions and Impact

A new test cycle and phase aren't created and instead reuse the same testing cycle and phase that was already created from the previous job in the Test Planning and Test Execution pages.

Currently using an existing test cycle and phase but you need to update the cycle start and end dates

A new test cycle and phase aren't created and instead will update/append the changes to the cycle's start and end dates for the test cycle and phase that already exists in the Test Planning and Test Execution pages.

Currently using an existing test cycle and phase but you need to update the person that they are assigned to

A new test cycle and phase aren't created and instead will update/append the changes to the assignee for the specific testing cycle and phase that already exists in the Test Planning and Test Execution pages.

Creating a new test phase but using an existing test cycle

When editing the phase name, the new test phase name will be created under the existing test cycle in the Test Planning, and Test Execution pages.

Using an existing test phase but creating a new test cycle

When editing the cycle name, a new test cycle name will be created under the Test Planning and Test Execution pages but there won't be a new phase created in the Test Repository.

Creating a new test phase and new test cycle

When editing both the cycle and phase name, a new test cycle name will be created in the Test Planning and Test Execution but there will not be a new test phase created in the Test Repository.

You can reuse an existing cycle and phase you created earlier.
