Introduction to Suites in Robonito

Suites are a fundamental building block in Robonito, serving as containers for organizing and managing your test cases within a workspace. The suite management module provides an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)-like interface for creating, editing, and executing your tests.

Suite Management Interface:

Creating a Suite with Suite Type:

1. Click "+ new suite":

   • Click the "+ new suite" button located in the top left corner of the suite management module.

2. Suite Creation Dialog (Suite-Creation-Dialog.png):

   • A dialog box will appear to create a new suite.

     

3. Enter Suite Name:

   • Provide a descriptive name for your suite in the "Suite name" field.

4. Select Suite Type:

   • Choose the type of suite you want to create from the "Suite type" dropdown.
   • Currently, Robonito supports two suite types:
     • Web: For web-based test cases.
     • API: For API-based test cases.
   • Note: In future releases, Robonito will support mobile and other suite types.

5. Create Suite:

   • Click the "Create" or "Save" button to create the suite.

Key Features of Suite Management:

• Suite Creation:
  • Click the "+ new suite" button to create a new suite.
  • Suites act as logical groupings for related test cases.
• Test Case Organization:
  • Test cases are created and stored within suites.
  • This allows for structured organization of tests based on functionality, modules, or other relevant criteria.
• IDE-like Interface:
  • The suite management module provides an IDE-like interface for easy navigation and management of suites and test cases.
  • The left panel displays the list of suites and their associated test cases.
  • The main panel displays the content of the selected suite or test case.
• Variables:
  • Click the "(x) Variables" button to define and manage variables that can be used within your test cases.
  • Variables allow for dynamic data input and improve test maintainability.
• Search Functionality:
  • Use the search bar to quickly find specific suites or test cases.
• Suite and Test Case Navigation:
  • Expand suites to view their associated test cases.
  • Click on a test case to view or edit its content in the main panel.

Suite List and Type Display:

• Suite List:
  • The left panel of the suite management module displays a list of all suites within the current workspace.
  • Each suite is represented by its name.
• Suite Type Indicator:
  • To the left of each suite name, the suite type is displayed (e.g., "WEB" or "API").
  • This clearly indicates the type of test cases contained within the suite.
  • This helps users quickly identify and differentiate between web and API test suites.
• Suite Actions:
  • Each suite entry includes action icons or buttons, such as a "play" button to execute the suite and a "more options" icon for additional actions.

Suite Actions and Execution:

• Execute Suite:
  • Click the "play" icon (green triangle) next to the suite name to execute all test cases within the suite.
  • You can choose to execute tests locally or in the cloud.
• Suite Actions Menu:
  • Click the three vertical dots (ellipsis) on the right of the suite name to access the suite actions menu.
  • The menu provides the following options:
    • Add test case: Add a new test case to the suite.
    • Delete Suite: Delete the entire suite.
    • Schedule: Schedule the suite to run at a specific time or on a recurring basis.
    • Report: View execution reports for the suite.
    • Generate code: Generate code snippets for the suite or its test cases.

Suite Execution Details:

• Local Execution: Executes the test cases on your local machine.
• Cloud Execution: Executes the test cases on Robonito's cloud infrastructure.
• Execution Reports: Provides detailed reports on the execution status of each test case within the suite.
• Scheduling: Allows you to automate the execution of suites at specific times or intervals.

Benefits of Using Suite Actions:

• Efficient Execution: Quickly execute all test cases within a suite with a single click.
• Flexible Execution Options: Choose between local or cloud execution based on your needs.
• Comprehensive Reporting: Access detailed execution reports to analyze test results.
• Automation: Schedule suites to run automatically at specific times.
• Suite Management: Easily add, delete, and manage suites and their test cases.
• Code Generation: Generate code snippets to aid in test development.
