A test suite is a collection of test cases that have been grouped
for test execution purposes. You can run a test suite by opening the test
suite or by opening the All Test Suites window.
To run a test suite:
- Open an existing test suite.
Note: You cannot run a
test suite until it has been saved.
- Click the Run Test Suite icon (
) in the upper right corner
of the test suite window. This opens the Run Test Suite window.
Note: You can also run a test suite from the All Test Suites window.
- From the Run Test Suite window, click Run to
open the Test Suite Execution Console.
- If the first test case in the suite is a manual test, click Run
Manual Test to open the test execution window.
If
the first test case in the suite is an automated test, the test will run automatically.
- Step through the manual test execution one step at a time and click Close when
finished.
If necessary, you can file a defect and associate
the defect with a particular step.
- Click the Execution Result icon (
) to
view the test suite execution results.
- Update the execution results as needed and click Save to
save your updates.
For example, you can provide a detailed description
of the test results in the Result Details section.
- To file a defect:
- Click the Defects icon (
) in the upper right corner
of the Execution Results. You can add a new defect or assign
an existing defect.
- Complete the defect form as needed.
- Click Save to save the results.
- Repeat for each subsequent test case in the suite.
