Test Suites
Overview
Test suites let you group similar functional test cases that can be executed together, in sequence or in parallel. You can have any combination of test cases; for instance, the test cases may belong to the same process, or they could be completely different. In other words, a suite is a facilitator to group test cases into one, which can then be automated together using a test plan.
Let's say you have three test cases, one each for logging in, entering values, and submitting the form. You can group these cases into a test suite and configure them to run in a sequence. This helps identify where exactly the test is failing during the sequential testing process. Alternatively, you can group test cases based on the test type, and configure them to run in parallel.
Create Test Suite
To create a suite, navigate to Test Suites, and click Create Suite.
The following image displays the test suite creation page. There are three major sections on this page—marked in this image below for better understanding.
- Suite details:
- Name: Enter a name for the suite.
- Execution: Select whether to run the test suite in sequence or parallel mode for execution.
- Pre-Condition and Post-Condition: Select the prerequisite test suites that need to be executed prior to or following the actual test suite to prevent failures within its test plan.
- Add test cases to the suite: Your test cases are listed here, and you can select the ones to be added. Expand or collapse modules by clicking the drop-down next to the module name. To select all test cases in a module, simply select the module. When you check the test cases or modules, they get added one after the other on the right, creating an order for their execution. To re-order, click the
icon, then enter the Order ID or the position number to which the case should be moved. Click Move. The search bar lets you select the required cases or modules.
- Selected cases: The selected cases are added into this section.
To re-arrange the order of cases:
- Click the
icon for the cases you want to move, then drag and drop it to the required position.
- Or, click the
icon for the case you want to move, then enter the Order ID or the position number to which the case should be moved. Click Move.
Click the delete icon to remove any of the suites added. When you click on the search icon, it opens the search bar, which lets you select the required test case.
Click Create.
Manage suite and view stats
The test suite is created and appears like the following image.
To modify any of the test suites, select the corresponding suite to see the suite's details page and click Edit Test Suite.
The fields inside the create test suite can now be edited. Make the changes and click Update.
The test suite details page displays useful information about its execution. Results of the suite appear after the test plan containing this suite runs.
The existing cases in the suite are grouped into three columns:
- All test cases: All test cases added to the suite are listed in this section.
The order of test cases can be changed by clicking the 
icon for the case you want to move, then drag and drop it to the required position. Or click the 
icon for the case you want to move, then enter the Order ID or the position number to which the case should be moved.
- Frequently Failed: Failed test cases will be listed here in descending order based on the number of times they fail. It also lists the number of times the cases were executed and the number of times they failed.
- Failed in Last Run: Test cases failed in the last test plan execution will be listed.
