Creating a Test Suite

Updated by Jessica Holman

Test suites are test cases that can be grouped together into “folders.” Test suites are useful for easier viewing and managing of related test cases, and can save time with creating scheduled test runs. Test suites are also useful for regression testing, as grouping test cases into test suites can help to efficiently run the same tests after each app update and quickly catch any new bugs that may have surfaced.

Creating a New Test Suite

To create a test suite:

  1. Log in to your Sofy account.
  2. Go to the Automation menu from the left navigation bar.
    Sofy home page with a callout over the Automation option in the left navigation bar.
  3. Under the Test Cases tab, scroll through or search for the test cases you want to group into a test suite. You can also use the filter button to the right of the search bar to filter your test cases. Once you’ve chosen your filters, click Done. You should only see the test cases that apply to your filter.
    Test cases page with callout over the filter button at far right.
    You can filter your test cases by the following parameters:
    • By Tags: View test cases with a specific tag (you can select multiple tags). 
    • By User: View test cases created by a specific user.
    • By Priority: View test cases of a specific priority. 
    • Created Between: View the test cases created between two specific dates.
      Filter Test Cases modal window.
  4. Check the box at the far right of each test case you want to group into a test suite. Alternatively, check the box at the top of the table to select all test cases in the list.

  5. Select New Test Suite from the popup at the bottom of your screen.

  6. If you selected inactive test cases, you’ll be asked to activate those test cases before creating a test suite. To continue, click Yes, Activate and Create Test Suite.
    Activate and create test suite confirmation window.
  7. Name the test suite and provide any identifying details about the test suite.
    Create New Test Suite modal window.
  8. Click Save Test Suite.
  9. Select Close Window or View Test Suite.

You can view all your test suites under the Test Suites tab in the Automation menu. You can also create test suites via the Add New Test Suite button on the Test Suites page.

Adding Test Cases to an Existing Test Suite

You can also add test cases to an existing test suite. To do this, follow the same steps under Creating a New Test Suite, but once you’ve selected your test cases, click Add to Test Suite instead from the popup at the bottom of your screen.
