we feel that we need one more level between test suites and test cases.

in other systems sometimes sections are used or sub folders. this would structure a test suite into different areas like installation, activation, tests with the acutal product etc. the results of the test suite run should also be structured into the same blocks of test cases.

another way to solved this might be to show test run results on a per step basis instead of a per test case basis. rights now I can pass or fail every single step but I seems to only see status for the whole test case in the reports.

[edit] yet another way to solve this would be to add another test plan level on top of the test suites.[/edit]

In a nutshell: I totally agree with you.

I see two points here:

- Giving executable items a logical structure (arrange them in folders)
- Allow the nesting of test suites

Both already are on our roadmap, with the second one already reflected in the database layout.

rights now I can pass or fail every single step but I seems to only see status for the whole test case in the reports.

This is KLAROS 642 - Save the result type for every step in the test case result, as requested by Robert Gröber here
