Testy: ability to creatae multiple test sessions/cycles without cloning tests and/or test results
USE CASE:
1. Visualize Progress Bar functionality test coverage on diff browsers (following example @ https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.almworks.testy)
2. Re-use the same test plan structure for multiple builds
OPTIONS FOR BUILD 2:
Option 1;
Use columns for each browser (next build requires cloning to track test execution)
Problem 1: Requires cloning of entire structure for next build
Problem 2: Cloning just test results will not work as new results will overwrite test results from build 1
Option 2:
Use columns for each test run (no need to clone the tree and browser makes put in the hierarchy)
Problem 1: after a dozen of builds I will run out of space to add new test runs.
DESIRED SOLUTION (Similar to Zephyr, SpiraTest, TestLink, etc…):
Ability to created new test runs/sessions/cycles without:
a) Cloning test cases (unnecessary dups)
b) Overwriting previous test results

Yes, the other wastebin icon (to the right of the 'Test run' combo field) deletes the test run from the system.

Thanks Robert. Is there a way to delete test runs? Not to remove from a column from a view, but actually purge a test run.

Hello Michael,
With Option 2 there is no need to run out of space to add new test runs; you can remove test runs from the structure board (without deleting them from the system) by clicking the wastebin icon in the lower-left corner of the column menu (see http://screencast.com/t/81S7Y8kj)
Then you can keep testing on the same structure of issues indefinitely without needing to clone.
Would that resolve this issue for you?
Best,
Robert
