Test Suite
A collection of test cases grouped together for execution, usually covering a specific feature or area.
Full definition
A test suite is an organized collection of test cases that are meant to be run together. Test suites provide structure and allow teams to execute related tests as a group.
Common ways to organize test suites:
- By feature: All tests for the login module
- By test type: All smoke tests, all regression tests
- By priority: Critical tests that run on every build
- By sprint/release: Tests for the current iteration
In automation, test suites are often configured in test runners (e.g., TestNG suites, Playwright projects, Jest test groups) and can be triggered in CI/CD pipelines.
