Easier way to copy test sets from one release to another?

The way we organized the test sets folders is as follows:

 

Test Sets

-Release #1

--Project #1

---Regression

----TS#1

----TS#2

---Features

----TS#3

----TS#4

 

-Release #2

--Project #1

---Regression

----TS#1

----TS#2

---Features

----TS#5

----TS#6

 

Everytime we have a new release, we would typically copy the folder structure from the previous release and paste it in a seperate folder, then rename it as the new release. The issue is that the test sets don't get copied with the folder structure. We do this because regresssion test sets are carried over from one release to another. We end up having to copy test sets in each regression folder using fast edit - copy items from one folder to another. On top of that, we have to unlink the previous release from each test set and relink it to the new release. With 10+ projects, multiple levels of folder structure, and 100+ test sets per release, this becomes quite labor intesive. My question is:  Is there an easier way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? Thanks in advnace!

    Hi!

    Have you looked at the Releases module? You can link your regression test sets to as many Releases/sprints or iterations/builds, whatever is appropriate, and run the test set against each Release. Would that work for you, or do you see other issues with it?

     

    Thanks!
