TestLink - Test Suite



Test suite is a container that has a set of tests which helps the testers in executing and reporting the test execution status. It can take any of the three states namely Active, In progress, and Completed.

A test case can be added to multiple test suites and test plans. After creating a test plan, test suites are created, which in turn can have any number of tests.

TestLink supports tree structure for test suites. There could be multiple sub-test suites under a test suite.
