Duplicating a test gives you an exact copy, but most of the time you duplicate a test because you want something close to it, not identical. The duplicate button on the test details page now offers a second option: hand the test to the mabl agent as a baseline and describe how the new one should differ. The agent reads the original's steps, applies the changes you asked for, and creates a new, independent test. The original test is only read, never modified.
Try it out
- Open a browser test's details page.
- Select the duplicate icon in the header toolbar.
- Choose Generate similar test with mabl.
- Describe how the new test should differ, then select Start with mabl.
The planning page names the test you're working from under Using as a baseline, so you can confirm the agent picked up the right one before you begin. Remove it if you'd rather start from scratch.
To make a straight copy with no agent involved, choose Duplicate as is. That option behaves exactly as the duplicate button always has.
