Tip of the Week! Clone Tests Across Projects

The Challenge: You’ve built solid test cases in one PractiTest project, but now you need them in another. Recreating those tests from scratch wastes time and risks inconsistency.

The Solution: PractiTest lets you clone tests from one project to another in bulk—complete with your customizations.

How to Clone Tests Between Projects

Select your tests in the Test Library, click “Clone Tests,” customize any fields you want to change, check “Clone tests to a different project,” select your target project, and click “Clone.”

Your tests are now in the new project with a “Cloning” section in the Traceability tab (visible based on your permissions).

:double_exclamation_mark:Important: Custom Fields Setup

For cloning to work correctly, custom fields must match between projects:

  • :white_check_mark: Field names must be identical (case-sensitive)
  • :white_check_mark: Field values must be identical (case-sensitive)
  • :cross_mark: Mismatched names or values = cloning failures

:light_bulb: Pro Tip: When creating a new project from an existing one, choose “clone the fields and their values” during project setup. This ensures all custom fields align perfectly, making cross-project cloning seamless.

Why This Matters

Cloning tests across projects saves hours and ensures consistency across your QA efforts. Whether you’re scaling to a new product, extending test coverage to different environments, or standardizing tests across teams, bulk cloning keeps your test cases in sync and your team moving fast.
