Test Suites Overview - Test Case Organization
Test Suites are collections of test cases that help you organize and group related tests for execution, reporting, and management. They provide a flexible way to define which test cases should be included in test runs, either by manually selecting specific test cases or by using dynamic filters that automatically include matching test cases.
Core Concepts
What are Test Suites?
Test Suites are logical groupings of test cases that serve multiple purposes:
- Organization: Group related test cases together
- Test Execution: Define which test cases to run together
- Dynamic Inclusion: Use filters to automatically include test cases based on criteria
- Reusability: Create reusable test collections for different scenarios
Test Suite Types
Test Suites can include test cases in two ways:
Manual Test Suites: Test cases are explicitly selected and added to the suite. The suite contains a fixed list of test cases.
Filter-Based Test Suites: Test cases are included dynamically based on filter criteria. The suite automatically includes all test cases that match the filters, even if new test cases are added later.
Hybrid Test Suites: Test suites can combine both manual selection and filters, giving you maximum flexibility.
Test Suite Source
Test Suites display their source type:
- Manual: Contains only manually selected test cases
- Filter: Contains only filter-based test cases
- Hybrid: Contains both manually selected and filter-based test cases
Accessing Test Suites
To access the Test Suites page:
- Navigate to your workspace
- Select a project from the project list
- Click on Test Suites in the project sidebar navigation
The Test Suites page displays all test suites for the selected project in a table format.
Viewing Test Suites
Test Suites Table
The test suites table displays the following columns (which can be shown or hidden):
- Title: The name of the test suite
- Description: A brief description of the test suite
- Testcases: Number of test cases included in the suite (with badge indicating source type)
- Test Runs: Number of test runs using this suite (coming soon)
Column Management
You can customize which columns are visible:
- Click the Columns button in the header
- Check or uncheck columns to show or hide them
- Changes are applied immediately
Sorting
You can sort test suites by clicking on column headers:
- Click Title or Description to sort alphabetically
- Click again to reverse the sort order
- Sort indicators show the current sort direction
Pagination
Test suites are paginated for easier navigation:
- Use the pagination controls at the bottom to navigate between pages
- Adjust the number of test suites per page using the dropdown (default: 10)
- The page shows the current range (e.g., “Showing 1 - 10 of 25 test suites”)
