Adding automation suites

Add an automation suite in Helix ALM to define a group of related automated tests that run together.

A suite contains:

  • Details about the group of tests, including the owners and options to automatically associate automated test results with test cases after tests run.
  • Test cases related to the automated tests.
  • Run configuration information, which is used to run an automation suite to start a build in Jenkins from Helix ALM.

See Managing automation suites for more information about automation suites.

You can add suites based on functional area, specific testing type, or any logical way that supports your testing needs. We recommend creating smaller, focused automation suites to make it easier to understand results and take any additional action needed based tests that fail or have undetermined results.

You can add automation suites from the Test Cases list. Select the test cases to add to the suite, click Actions, and choose Add Suite. The test cases are added to the new suite. You can also add suites from Add, Edit, or View Test Case pages. Click Actions and choose Add. The test case you are working with is added to the new suite.
