How to Use Test Suites

Organize and group series of Test Cases into Test Suites.

Test suites are a way to organize your project’s test cases, much like folders are used to organize groups of individual files. Some projects may only need one test suite while others may require several. 

Test suites help keep information streamlined and organized. For example, a project may have test suites for different platforms such as iOS and Android or even different functions such as for an inventory feature or sales feature.  Different test suites can also be made to separate different test types, such as functional or non-functional or even test scenarios for important end-user work flows. Creating separate test suites allows each to have a unique set of test cases that stakeholders can clearly find and work with.

Test Suites Overview

The test suite page shows a list of all the test suites created for your project containing links to associated test cases. Click Design in the navigation menu to view test suites.

Add a Test Suite

If you want to create a new test suite, click the green Add Test Suite button in the top right corner of the test suite page. A popup will appear where you can fill out the various fields of the test suite you’re creating. 

• Name: This is the best way to define your group of test cases, try to choose something memorable and simple.
• Description: This is an optional field where additional information about a test suite can be added. Here you can further define the group of test cases that are going to be housed in the test suite.
