Hi John
Ideally it follows the project strategy in which all the changes related to project moved to test system simultaneously and hence when you change the cycle Test phase it will make sense.
But in your case you are moving the cycle, where as you are moving the changes which are independent so general recommendation is to keep the status of your cycle in (development with release) for a week based on your organization transport movement cycle (weekly or biweekly) as in that phase also you can move your changes to test system and test the changes. Now you need to move the cycle to go live phase only when you have to do production system transport.This will ease your process.
Thanks
