A test suite is a set of test cases which can be executed sequentially. The results of the test suite execution are grouped together in Klaros-Testmanagement and can be used to verify and ensure that a system meets its design specifications and requirements.
Test suites may be created, removed, duplicated, updated and assigned to categories on this page. The displayed test suites may be filtered and sorted as described in Section 5.2.6, “Filtering and Sorting” ( Figure 6.43).
The Test Suites screen shows all of the test suites in the current project. Direct editing of the displayed attributes is possible here.
The leftmost column allows test suites to be selected for bulk actions. The uppermost checkbox is a global select button, which selects or deselects all elements shown in the table. Please note that the displayed elements are subject to the current search and catagorization criteria.
Test Suites may be viewed on a printer-friendly page as described in Section 5.2.7, “Print Pages” as well as categorized as described in Section 5.2.8, “Categorization”.
Feature only available in Klaros-Testmanagement Enterprise Edition

icon removes the test case from the test suite and clicking the
opens a dialog which allows the user to change the order of the test
cases.
The
icon allows to quickly find and remove all duplicate
test case entries in the test suite. After invocation it displays a dialog listing all
duplicates found.
If the dialog is confirmed all duplicates are removed from the test suite and the test
suite is saved.
