How to create a Suite?

To access the Suites module:

1. Log in to SimplifyQA

2. From the User Navigation Panel, go to Test Execution>Suites.

Here, users can create, execute, and track test suites efficiently. The interface provides a structured view of all available suites.

1. To create a new test suite, click on the '+ Suite' button.

1. A dropdown will appear asking whether you want to create a Manual or Automation suite. Select the desired option based on your test case execution strategy.

1. Fill in the required details:

   1. Suite Name: Provide a meaningful and descriptive name for the suite.

   2. Description: Add details about the suite’s purpose and scope.

1. The suite creation page will display a Tree Table showing all Modules and their associated test cases.

2. You can switch this tree table to User Story View to view test cases linked to user stories for better traceability.

1. Once the suite is created, add test cases by following these steps:

   1. Locate test cases in the Tree Table.

   2. Drag and drop test cases from the Tree Table into the suite.

   3. Alternatively, right-click on a test case in the Tree Table, and select 'Add to Suite'.

1. Use the Copy Test Case Link option for quick reference and easy navigation.

When you create a Manual Suite, only manual test cases will be visible in the tree view inside the suite.

Similarly, when you create an Automation Suite, the tree view will display only automation test cases. This ensures test cases added to the suite match the suite type.

1. To remove a test case from the suite, select the checkbox next to it and click the 'Delete' button.

This flexible approach allows users to efficiently manage test case selection for execution.

Using the Tree View on the Suites Landing Page

The tree view on the Suites landing page allows you to quickly organize your test cases and modules across different suites without opening each one individually.

• Drag and Drop Simply drag a test case from the tree and drop it into any suite listed on the page. This is a quick way to assign test cases to suites without navigating into them.

• Right-Click Actions Right-click on any test case or module in the tree to open a context menu with the following options:

• Add to Test Suite – Opens a pop-up where you can either:

  • Select an existing suite from a dropdown, or

  • Create a new suite directly from the same window.

• Copy Link – Copies a direct link to the selected test case or module for easy sharing or reference.

_{Managing Email Notifications}

• Users can configure email notifications to be triggered for any modifications made to the suite.

• Add recipients to the notification list to keep stakeholders informed about test execution updates.

• Notifications can include execution status, failures, and test progress.

Viewing Test Data

• Click on the Test Data icon to view test data used within the suite.

• Any changes to test data here will only affect the suite execution, not the original test cases, ensuring data integrity.

• Modify test parameters if needed before execution.

Copying and Deleting Suites

• Click the 'Copy' icon to duplicate a suite, useful for creating similar test executions with minor modifications.

• Click the 'Delete' icon to remove a suite from the project, ensuring obsolete test suites are cleaned up.

The Suites module in SimplifyQA enhances test execution management by allowing users to group, execute, and track test cases efficiently. By leveraging test suites, teams can:

• Streamline their testing process.

• Ensure better test coverage.

• Improve overall execution efficiency.

• Automate defect logging and re-execution to optimise workflow.

Using test suites effectively ensures structured and repeatable test execution, leading to better software quality and faster delivery cycles.
