Situations may arise within your project wherein you may have to reopen a closed test cycle. Most likely this need arises because you want to execute more tests within the test cycle. May be you decide to postpone the deployment of a specific version of your application to the next environment (say production) in the last minute and this necessitates the reopening of the test cycle, potentially extending the end date for the cycle's window, and to execute additional automated tests within it.
When can you reopen a Test Cycle?
Obviously, the test cycle has to be closed for you to 'reopen' it.
