Create Cycle from a Case

A cycle can be created from Cycles tab or from Cases tab in three ways. In all the options, only those cases will be added to the cycle that are in Published status. A warning message is displayed letting the user know if there are cases that will not be added to the cycle being created.

Create Cycle from a single case

If a single case needs to be executed, user can click ‘Create Cycle’ by doing a right click on the case row to get the Create Cycle window (screenshot below). The case title is copied as the title of the cycle; Component and Release are also copied if they are assigned to the case.

Open

User has the option to click

• ‘Create Cycle’ button on the window and the cycle will be created with selected case added to it (success message shown in screenshot below)

  Open

  

   

• ‘Add Cases’ button on the window to get a screen to add more cases to the cycle. This screen allows users to add cases from other projects as well by using the project selector drop-down (highlighted below)

   

User also has the option to assign users to added cases by clicking ‘Assign Users’ on the ‘Cases’ screen. Find more details on creating a cycle here.

Create Cycle from a folder of cases

A cycle can also be created for a folder of cases by clicking Create Cycle from ellipsis of the folders as shown below

In the folder shown above, ADP-TC-191 is in Under Review status and thus cannot be added to the Cycle.

The Create cycle window will show the warning message as in the screenshot below. If all cases in the selected folder have the same value for Release and Component, then Release and Component are copied to the Create cycle window. In Add Cases screen, users can select cases from other projects as well by using the project selector drop-down. Rest of the steps remain same as discussed in Creating Cycles.
