Test Suites Overview

2 min read

Test suites are reusable collections of test cases. They help teams decide which tests should run together without changing where those test cases live in the repository.

Use test suites for repeatable groups such as smoke tests, regression tests, release validation, feature checks, or any project-specific execution set.

Test Suites And Folders

Section titled “Test Suites And Folders”

Folders organize where test cases live in the repository.

Test suites organize which test cases should be run together.

A test case can stay in one repository folder and still be included in multiple test suites.

How Test Suites Select Test Cases

Section titled “How Test Suites Select Test Cases”

Test suites can include test cases in three ways:

  • Manual selection: specific test cases are selected by hand.
  • Filter-based selection: matching test cases are included through filters.
  • Hybrid selection: manual selections and filter-based selections are combined.

When the same test case is included manually and through a filter, Hawzu counts it once in the total.

Test Suites Page

Section titled “Test Suites Page”

Open a project and select Test Suites to view all test suites in the project.

The Test Suites table can show:

  • Title
  • Description
  • Testcases
  • Usages
  • Created On

The Testcases count shows how many unique test cases are included in the suite. The Usages count shows how many times the suite is used in runs or executions.

Use the column control in the page header to choose which columns are visible. The title column is always available.

Search, Filter, And Sort

Section titled “Search, Filter, And Sort”

The Test Suites page supports:

  • Search by title or description
  • Filter by creation date
  • Sort by title, description, or created date
  • Pagination and page-size selection

These controls help keep large test-suite lists easy to review.

Test Suite Details

Section titled “Test Suite Details”

Open a test suite row to review its details.

The details view shows:

  • Title and description
  • Created by and created on information
  • Manual selection count
  • Filter-based selection count
  • Total unique test cases
  • Selected test cases grouped by source

Users with edit access can update the suite from the same details view.

Permissions

Section titled “Permissions”

Test suite visibility and actions depend on project access. Users need the right project permissions to view, create, update, or delete test suites.

If you do not have create, edit, or delete access, those actions are not available.
