Organise Tests from different projects under a single group

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I am want&nbsp;to organise different tests (script)from different projects (which are under same project suite) into the same group. I am using TC 11 version and it seems I am able to organise tests under one test project only under a group. Is it possible to mix tests from other projects into this group?&nbsp;&nbsp;Many Thanks

Yes, you can create a project that has a mix of tests from other groups. In your new project, for Keyword Tests or Scripts, choose Add and then Existing Item, then browse to the test you want. The tests that are borrowed from other groups will show up with a blue arrow and if you edit them they will be changed in both groups.

Thanks Marsha_R . In my case there are multiple projects having the same framework and same test names &nbsp;with shared libraries. which when trying to add as existing item complaining for the 2nd item that the named test already exist :(&nbsp;

Correct, if you have two different Test1 tests, then you can't have them both in the same project. &nbsp;What are you trying to set up? &nbsp;Maybe there's another way to do it.

Thanks Marsha_R. In my case there are only 2 methods that needs to be run and has around 4-5 supporting libraries to run. The whole frame work is duplicated for different work streams as (cloned project under same project suite) I have multiple projects under the same suite now with same naming convention. with different datasheet's and some specific code changes &nbsp;in couple of files of each project.&nbsp;Now I am trying to organise all the tests (each project has 2 tests) under group and sub groups .. for the whole suite.What will be the best option ? apart from changing the name of the filename/sub?&nbsp;Many Thanks

The only other way I see to combine them is to actually combine the code. &nbsp;We use parameters for our datasheets so they can be swapped out easily, and there is probably a way to have the few differences in your&nbsp;code be conditional. &nbsp;&nbsp;That might be a better practice anyway. &nbsp;Having several copies of MyTest1 can lead to confusion down the line. &nbsp;Which one do I use? &nbsp;If I change some of the common code, do I then have to change it in 3 or 4 other places? &nbsp;
