Lesson 1: Create a test suite

In this lesson, you create a new test suite to perform regression tests on a functional area in the JKE Banking product.

About this task

A test suite is a collection of test cases that are grouped for test execution purposes.

To create the test suite:

Procedure

  1. Log in as the tester (User ID: tanuj, Password: tanuj) when prompted with the login dialog box.
    If you are prompted with a project login dialog box, select the JKE Banking (Engineering Test Management) project.
  2. Click Construction > Create > Test Suite.
    The Create Test Suite page opens.
  3. For the new test suite name, type (Engineering Test Management Tutorial) Regression Test Suite.
  4. For Owner, select Tanuj to assign the test suite to yourself.
  5. For Priority, select Medium.
  6. For Description, type Perform regression tests on critical functional areas.
  7. You can use the categories in the Summary section to organize your test suites into logical groups. Select the following values for the remaining categories:
    • Function: Dividend
    • Test Phase: Developer Test
    • Theme: Unassigned
  8. For estimate, type 4 and select hours.
  9. Type 150 as the weight.
  10. Click Pre-Condition in the table of contents to open the Pre-Condition section of the test suite. You can use this section to list the conditions that must be met before execution of this test suite can begin. In this scenario, you need a sample user account set up to log in to the JKE Banking application.
  11. Click the Add Content link, and in the text editor, type Sample user "jbrown" configured in AUT. "jbrown" has dividend bearing account with positive account balance.
  12. Click Save to save the new test suite.
  13. In the main menu, click Construction > Browse > Test Suites.
    The new test suite is included in the list on the Browse Test Suites page.
    Tip: If you do not see the new test suite in the list, click the Refresh icon (Refresh).

Lesson checkpoint

In this lesson, you learned the following:
  • How to create a test suite
  • How to assign categories to a test suite
  • How to add pre-condition information to a test suite
  • How to view a list of test suites

What to do next

In the next lesson, you continue as the tester and add the test suite to a test plan.
Fast path: You can also create a new test suite directly in a test plan, so that it is automatically included. To create a test suite in a test plan, open the Test Suites section of a plan; then click the Create Test Suite icon (Create test suite).
