(9.1-en) Organize Test Cases in Test Suites

Test Suites 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.

You can either add a Test Case to a Test Suite or remove a Test Case from a Test Suite.

Working with Test Suites

A menu named "Test Suites" is created in the "Project Overview" page after synapseRT is installed, as in the screenshot below:

To avoid any confusion:

  • Test Suites those are listed in "Test Suites" home page (root level) are called 'Root Test Suite'
  • Test Suites those are created from any 'Root Test Suite' to group Test Cases, are called as 'Test Suite'.  

Note: you can sort your Root Test Suite by clicking column headers.
