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...

Champion Level 3Hi,
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!

Good news - you made it!
Regarding the next scenario, I think you are saying there are two scenarios:
1. Project A uses tests from Project Library
2. Project A creates a test (Test ABC) that is not in Project Library
In scenario 2, I don't think it is possible to review the status Test ABC from within Project Library unless you added it to a Cycle in Project Library. But as you say, you could add those tests into a Cycle in Project Library and monitor them that way, but, if what you want to do is add those Test ABC into Project Library, there is an Import from Other Projects function for that in the Tests area (where the test cases are all listed) - you need to click on the "..." button to see that.

Hi Andy，
Thanks a lot. We will have a try for more functions and apply it to our work, thanks again.

We have separate src and tests directories at the top level in our libraries. Our applications are very thin wrappers around library projects, so they don't need any tests. We also have a FlexUnit application project, to run the tests from FlexBuilder.
We use maven for our main build system, and the Sonatype Flex plugin runs all our unit tests during the build, even on our linux-based Continuum server. Maven defaults to looking for tests in a 'tests' directory, which was a good justification for picking that location.
