Test Suite - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A test suite is a named group of test cases executed as a unit.
A test suite is a collection of related test cases grouped to run together, often by feature, module, or type (unit, integration). Running the suite validates a slice of the system.
Suites let teams organize and selectively run tests, for example running the fast unit suite on every push and the slow integration suite nightly.
In CI
Splitting one large suite into targeted suites lets pipelines parallelize and fail fast on the cheapest tests first.
