What are tests suites for?
A test suite is simply a list of tests. Usually, if you want to run several tests, you go to the Tests list page and click them one by one. If you have lots of tests, finding them and clicking many times to add them can become tedious. Hence, our tests suites let you save lists of tests that you can later launch quicker. In a sense, it's a shortcut.
Creating a tests suite
First, go to the Tests suites page, by clicking the corresponding entry in the left side menu:
Tests suites menu link
If you have no test suite at all, the page will look similar to this:
Empty tests suites page
Just click one of the Add suite buttons to create a new tests suite. The existing tests are listed in the left part. You can add them by clicking them:

You can easily change the number of times a test will be repeated by clicking its repetition number:

You can also reorder the tests by clicking and dragging them around:

Running one or more tests suites
Any time you wish to launch one or more tests suites, go back to the Tests suites page and click Add:
Adding tests suites to the run list
You'll be taken to the Run confirmation page, the same as the page you land on when selecting individual tests for running. The only difference appears if you have added more than one tests suite to the run list. Then, you will see one tab per tests suite:
Adding tests suites run confirmation
When you select more than one tests suite for running, you'll actually launch one run per tests suite. It means that each tests suite will run separately from other tests suite, and will be saved in different, separated results. It's the same as selecting one first tests suite, running it, then selecting another tests suite and running it.
