Edit a test cycle

Cycles are created from the test plan's groups of test cases. From the Cycle drop-down menu, you can edit just the details (name and description) or edit the cycle's full contents (details and any needed tests).

Important considerations
  • When you edit the contents of a test cycle, a text alert warns you about potential data loss. For each group that is removed, you can hover over its caution icon to see the number of test runs to be deleted. The total number is highlighted in yellow at the bottom of the screen.

  • If a group in the cycle contains an assigned test run or a test run with a status other than Not Run, that run is not deleted when the group is removed. It must be manually removed from the test cycle.

To edit a test cycle:

  1. In a test plan, select Test Runs, then select the cycle you want to edit.

    The screen displays the selected cycle and its associated test runs.

    Image shows Test Runs tab selected in top toolbar, and cycle with the small black arrow highlighted on the left side of the center panel.
  2. To edit only the cycle's name and description, select Edit details from the Cycle drop-down menu.
