Your view

A suite is a set of tests you run or schedule together. A typical project has a five-minute smoke suite for every build and a full regression suite at night.

Before you start: the project needs some tests. See Tests.

1. Open Suites

In the sidebar, open Quality Engineering › Functional Testing, then the Suites tab.

Under Pages, choose Tests, then the Suites tab.

The Suites page: New suite, each suite with its tests and last run (Manage view)

1 New suite.
2 Last suite run: how the suite’s last run ended, and when it changed.
3 Click a suite to open it.

2. Make a suite

Choose New suite.
Type a Name, such as “Smoke” or “Checkout”.
Under Where it runs, keep the project’s environment, browser and screen size, or pick others.
Under Tests, find and pick the tests. Filter by folder, label, priority or platform.
Choose Create suite.

The New suite form: name, tests and Run tests side by side (Manage view)

1 The suite’s name. 2 Run tests side by side is faster. Leave it off when one test needs another first.

No tests yet? Let the agent suggest suites after you add or import test cases.

3. Open a suite

A suite: its tests and run order, test-data writes, and Edit suite, Assign and Run suite (Manage view)

1 How many tests, and how they run: one after another in the suite’s order, or side by side.
2 Whether the tests may write test data. They never write on production.
3 Edit suite: name, tests, Run order, and a Setup test that runs first.
4 Assign hands “Run and review” this suite to a person, with a due date.
5 Run suite. Below it are Runs on, Browser, Screen size and Recent runs.
