Copy a Test

Legacy Documentation
You're viewing legacy documentation for API Fortress (deployed via an on-premises container). To view documentation for the new SaaS version of API Fortress — now known as Sauce Labs API Testing and Monitoring (with Sauce Connect tunnels) — see API Testing on the Sauce Labs Cloud.

Here we will show you how to copy and paste a test. Before that, it should be noted that this isn't often the right way to go. Take a step back and ask yourself if this is actually the perfect solution. We have specifically built our platform to improve work efficiency.

Use Cases​

Here are some questions that you should ask yourself:

  • Are you looking to do negative testing? You can likely do that in the same test using data sets and the IF component + status codes.
  • Are you looking to run from different environments? No problem with Presets.
  • Do you want to run most but not all of the tests in a specific project? Execute tests using tags. (example, using a unique webhook and the 'live' tag.)

If you still wish to copy a test, the procedure is as follows.

How to Copy a Test​

  1. Enter the project and test.

  2. Then click over to the Published version of the test
