XStudio 1.7: Automatic generation of residual tests campaigns

Let's imagine you have 4 different test campaigns that have been possibly executed by different people.

These 4 campaigns may have tests in common (maybe all of them, maybe none...)

They have been executed possibly several times each.

Now, I'd like to create a new campaign containing only a selection of the failing tests from these 4. This could be tests that failed once in the iterations or only those that have failed in the last iteration etc.

This manual task may be pretty tough and boring.

But it's easy enough with XStudio 1.7's automatic generation of residual tests campaigns.

Step1: Select all the source sessions

Step2: Choose a destination folder and define the rules that will be used to generate the residual campaign

Step3: It's done!
