### 3.16.1. Creating a Test Suite

Test Suites are used to organize and prepare Test Cases to be executed.

To create a Test Suite, the Test Suite Browser must be visible. If it is not visible, change to the Specification Perspective and select:

Window-->Show View-->Test Suite Browser.

1. Select:

   New-->New Test Suite

   from the context-sensitive menu in the Test Suite Browser.

2. Name the new Test Suite when prompted with a meaningful name. It is a good idea to have naming conventions for Test Suites.

3. Click ”OK”.

4. The Test Suite you created will appear in the Test Suite Browser under the category Test Suites.

5. Once you have created a Test Suite, you can:

   - Add Test Cases to it to be executed (Section 3.10.4, “Adding items to editors”).

   - Configure the Test Suite in the Properties View (Section 3.16.2, “Configuring Test Suites in the Properties View”).

   - Rename the Test Suite (Section 3.9.2, “Renaming items in browsers”).

   - Delete Test Cases from it (Section 3.10.5, “Deleting items from editors”).

   - Add the Test Suite to a Test Job to be executed along with other Test Suites (Section 3.17, “Working with Test Jobs to test multiple AUTs”).

   | You can filter in the Test Suite Browser using the field at the top. Use star * as a wild card.

| You can combine multiple Test Suites to create a Test Job (Section 3.17, “Working with Test Jobs to test multiple AUTs”). This is useful for testing multiple AUTs (or instances of the same AUT in one test.)
