Schedule a Test Suite

A test suite serves as a repository for various test cases designed to evaluate specific functionalities or behaviors of software.

For example, imagine a test suite created to assess the product purchase process on an e-commerce web application. It can include the following test cases:

Login (Test Case 1): Validate the login functionality to ensure users can access their accounts securely.
Adding Products (Test Case 2): Confirm that products can be successfully added to the shopping cart and appear correctly.
Checkout (Test Case 3): Verify the checkout process, including payment, order summary, and shipping details, to ensure a seamless transaction.
Logout (Test Case 4): Ensure that users can successfully log out of their accounts, guaranteeing proper account security and session termination.
