About Suites
A suite shows a hierarchical representation of the workload that you want to run. It
shows such items as the user groups, the number of users in each user group, which
test scripts the user groups run, and how many times each test script runs.
Through a suite, you can:
s
Run test scripts and test cases.
s
Group test scripts to emulate the actions of different types of virtual testers.
s
Set the order in which test scripts run.
s
Synchronize virtual testers.
