Importing, Exporting, and Cloning Tests

Importing, exporting, and cloning tests from within Sauce Labs API Testing can be useful for:

  • Moving tests from one Project to another
  • Sharing tests with Sauce Labs Support team for help

For information on moving tests from API Fortress (our legacy platform) to Sauce Labs API Testing, see API Fortress Legacy Migration Guide.
