Cloning a suite
What you'll learn
- How to create a suite for the first time
- How to clone suites, to create several scopes
Cloning allows you to quickly create a new suite without starting from scratch each time.
A suite can be cloned from within the application, or by using an API request - which is useful when testing against different environments, for example.
Choosing which sections to clone
When cloning a suite, you can choose which traits the new suite inherits, they make a big difference to the scope of the suite itself,
| Schedule | The schedule maintains that the suite starts with similar regularity |
| Examples | Examples will build requests from the same parameters |
| Authentication | Credentials will ensure authorization works the same way |
| Refinements | Skipped tests will keep the same fine-tuning of results |
| Insights | Dashboard and insights will copy dashboards, but will not affect results |
Results are never copied when cloning a suite.
Staging environments
The API can be used to quickly rebuild a suite with modified configuration
