    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

There's no real good way to have a master test run copied across multiple projects within Zephyr Scale.  I wrote an app to copy test runs using the API.  Can't share the source, but here's an idea of what it looks like.

In my system, it create a Jira issue.  The Jira issue has a link to the test run in the Description field.  The issue is assigned to someone with a duedate and we use that for tracking purposes. 

 

Using this method we have one, protected, master set of tests in a master test run, that gets copied to individual projects.  The individual projects can have additional tests added and are filtered based on the project requirements.
