Test Suite organize Test Cases into groups. It structures Test Cases logically.
Each Test Suite consists of a group of Test Cases categorized either directly under it, or under multiple sub-suites that offer grouping at subsequent levels. There are no limitations to the number of levels that can be created, thus constructing the desired organized structure as a tree provides greater flexibility. The user can treat Test Suite as an Application module, Component, or Feature set; whatever helps the user to group and organize the Test Case into logical parts. Test Suite helps the user to find a particular group of Test Cases more effectively. The user can even create a Test Suite for testing purposes, for example, Regression Test Cases or Smoke Test Cases, to help the team easily plan testing.
NOTE!
A Test Case can only belong to one Sub Suite within a Test Suite.
