Import Test From Other Elements
If you have created useful tests in one element, you can import those tests into any other element through the Test Cases window or 'Details' tab of the Inspector window, and so avoid having to duplicate the test information manually. You open the Test Cases window for the empty target element and then select the source element that contains the tests to import.
