When to use test suite

I like to use test suite to group a set of test cases. However I was told that we are not suppose to do that. RQM's intention is to use category of test case to group test cases.

Could you talk about your experience of using test suite.

Thanks,
Qin

Depending on the version of RQM you have there are some later features if you're running 2.0.1

In the main however, the test suite is intended to be able to establish a "predecessor" / "sucessor" relationship e.g. Login, Create Order, Invoice Order, Package, Logout

In this instance, these are all related test cases for a "scenario" which is Create and Ship Order .. using the suite, you can have multiple players i.e. Customer logins and creates the order, store invoices order and packages.

In versions prior to 2.0.1, the suites cannot be reported against individually and cannot be associated with a plan - you are effectively still executing a test case with associated script
In 2.0.1 the test suite can be associated with the plan and execution results can be see from a test suite view
