Definition

A test group is a named, ordered, reusable selection of tests inside a project.

What it is for

Groups make it easy to run or schedule the same suite without rebuilding the selection each time.

How it works

  • Create a group in project settings or save the current selection from the Run Tests dialog; name it, pick tests, and drag to set the order.
  • Groups can carry run-before dependencies, which are expanded automatically on the server when the group runs.
  • Run a group from the project, from its dashboard project-card button, or attach it to the project schedule.
  • Deleting a group never deletes the tests inside it.

Example

A “Release smoke test” group can run registration, login, search, checkout, and logout in that order.

Common use cases

  • Create a smoke suite.
  • Schedule critical journeys.
  • Run a team-standard regression set.
  • Launch a group from the dashboard.

Where to find it

Create and reorder groups in project settings, or save the current selection as a group from the Run Tests dialog.

Limitations, requirements, and permissions

  • A group needs a name and at least one test; empty groups are rejected.
  • Only enabled tests are selectable, and disabled tests do not count as runnable, so running a group with no runnable tests is rejected.
  • Creating and editing groups requires project edit permission.
