Steps to Create a Cycle for Multiple Sets
Step 1: To create a cycle for multiple sets, simply click on the Sets option in the top bar menu.
...
Step 2: Click on the folder from where you want to create a cycle for multiple sets and hit the Pencil icon.
...
Step 3: Tick the sets for which you want to create a cycle.
...
Step 4: Click on the Bulk button and select the Create Cycle option from the drop-down menu.
...
Once you click on the Create Cycle option, the Create Cycle modal window will appear on the screen where you can add the below details under the Details tab.
Title: Create an appropriate title for the cycle being created.
By default, a title is already created for the cycle. It is recommended to change the Title of the cycle being created. If Component and Release values are the same for all the selected sets then they will be copied to the create cycle window.
Objective: In this field, the user needs to enter the motive/reason to create the Cycle.
Folder: Cycles can be organized in Folders, just like Cases and Sets.
If the user clicks ‘Create Cycle’ from the “All Cycles” listing, it will be pre-populated with “Not Assigned”. However, if the user clicks “Create Cycle” from within a folder then it will be pre-populated with the selected folder’s name. The cycle will then be created in the selected folder.
Owner: The user can select the name of the person who is responsible for getting this Cycle executed.
The owner could be anyone in the team. It is not necessary that the owner should be the person who created the Cycle.
Component: With AIO Tests, components that were created in the Jira project become available while creating a Cycle. This feature helps to categorize and organize Cycles.
Release: With AIO Tests, releases that were created in the Jira project, become available while creating a Cycle. This feature offers the ability to organize cycles by Releases.
Start Date and End Date: It gives the user the privilege to enter the start and end date of the testing activity. You can also remove the Start and End Date individually. The system doesn’t allow the selection of the start date after the end date if the end date is already specified and if the start date has been assigned, a user can’t select an end date before the start date.
Tags: Tags are keywords that let you classify your Cycle in a more flexible and informal manner. They help you in searching.
Users can associate multiple tags with a Cycle. To create a new tag, the user just needs to enter the tag name in the field and press enter once done.
Jira Tasks: Cycles can be linked with Jira issues that can track the work being done in a cycle.
Attachments: Any Cycle-level attachments like reports or documents to be used for testing can be uploaded here.
Users also need to enter details in Custom Fields, if any.
...
Users also have the option to add cases to the cycle they are creating by clicking on the Add Cases option located at the top right corner of the Create Cycle modal window (if they want to add cases other than the ones selected earlier).
...
On the Cases tab, select cases that you want to add to that particular Cycle from a list of published cases of the current as well as any other project you have access to.
Users can search for Cases with the Case title or key via the search box. Users can also use filters like Key, Owner, Priority, Folder, Release, etc. to get a specific list quickly. By using the highlighted sign, users can add more filter options.
Users can change the project using the project selector drop-down to add cases of other projects.
By default, the list only shows cases in Published status. The cases in Draft, Under Review and Deprecated statuses cannot be added to a Cycle. If the user looking for a specific case, then by turning on “Show Non-eligible cases also”, they can view all cases.
If Sets are defined for Cycle executions, Cases belonging to Sets can be added by using the Sets filter. Users can select multiple Sets.
...
Users also have the option to assign testers to the added cases by clicking on the Assign Users button.
Users can click on the Save button if they don’t want to assign users to cases when creating Cycles.
Users have the option to click on the “Details” tab to go back and update the initial screen data.
...
On the Assignee page, bulk assignments or 1-by-1 assignments can be done. Users can click on the Go to Executions option to start executing the cycle.
If all cases have to be assigned to the same person, the top checkbox can be clicked and bulk assignment can be done. The assignments can happen later too from the cycle details page.
Users can save the details by clicking on the Save button.
Users have the option to go back and add more cases by clicking the ‘Cases’ tab or edit initial details by clicking the ‘Details’ tab.
...
Once you click the Go to Executions option, you will be navigated to the Cycle Details screen.
...
