Test Suite
A collection of test cases grouped together for a specific testing purpose.
Full Definition
A test suite (or test set) is a collection of test cases that are intended to be executed together. Test suites help organize testing efforts by grouping related tests.
Common ways to organize test suites:
- •By Feature: All tests for login functionality
- •By Type: All regression tests, all smoke tests
- •By Priority: Critical tests, high-priority tests
- •By Release: Tests for version 2.0
Benefits of test suites:
- •Logical organization of test cases
- •Easy selection for execution
- •Reusability across test cycles
- •Clear reporting by area
Test suites may be static (manually curated) or dynamic (automatically populated based on criteria).
Examples
- 1.Login & Authentication Test Suite
- 2.Regression Test Suite
- 3.API Integration Test Suite
- 4.Mobile App Test Suite - iOS
