how to create and use test library
hello, we are testing out Zephyr Scale in the trial period, specifically testing out how test cases can be stored in a library and reused for across projects. But we can't figure out the way to reus...

and what do you mean by “navigate to your project (the library will change) ”，i can't find this operation.

Champion Level 3I'm using the Server version of the Zephyr so my functionality could be a bit different if you're on the Cloud version but there are 2 ways of doing this - see images attached. One shows how to switch to another project in the Tests page, and the other shows how to switch to another project library when adding test cases in the Test Cycle.
Adding test cases to cycles is explained in the help files, here: Creating a Test Cycle | Zephyr Scale Server/Data Center Documentation (smartbear.com) It doesn't show how to add test cases from another library but in step 6 you will see there is a dropdown arrow next to ERP, and that is where you can access another project library.

Hi Andy,
I'm really appreciate your kindly reply for my question. And what you've described is exactly what we want. But it seems that there is no dropdown arrow next to a library/project name. so we could not change the library or add test cases from another project library.

Hi,
I'm assuming that you are on Zephyr Cloud (which I don't have) but even so, I would expect that you can add test cases from other projects in the Cloud version. I've added images showing how to do that in the Server version and hopefully it will work for you too. After you've added the test cases you simply need to click the Save button to record those changes.
If this doesn't work for you, can I suggest you contact the support team - I'm sure they can help you out.
Best of luck, Andy
Hi Andy，
Thank you so much. According to your screenshot and description, finally I found the way to change project and choose test cases from other project. That really helps a lot and solves the most important problem we faced.
But there is still another small question:
If we established a baselined library that called TEST library,
and we have 2 projects called Project 1 and Project 2,
if the way what we worked is that we create and review test cases in Project 1 or Project 2 within test cycles or test plans instead of TEST library , and when we finish the review of these test cases, we want to archive or manage these reviewed test cases into TEST library, since the project navigation function only happened in 「test cycle」section, so the only way for us is creates a test cycle in TEST library and then choose those reviewed test cases in Project 1? OR there is other ways we could navigate test cases into the baselined TEST library?
Thanks a lot!
