Test suite

ISTQB Glossary definition In Simple English, flield notes for "Test suite"

ISTQB Glossary definition

A set of several test cases for a component or system under test, where the post condition of one test is often used as the precondition for the next one.

In Simple English,

it's a group of related test cases that makes sense to be tested together to achive a test objective at hand.

QA Practitioner’s notes for ream work experience in this field

• Test suites are often dynamically created to match the the task at hand.
• Most times test suites are used as work allocation mechanism within a huge team. 
• Though it's easy to use it to manage work allocation its not the best way to achive test objectives. 
• Though by definition each steps' result should feed to the next step as input it is not a hard requirement. 
• Most often test suites are created based on the release being tested.   

Now, Let’s see one or more example cases to understand this even better:

Say you are asked to test an web application like gmail. One way to form the test suites would be to have one per function like, send mail, receive mail and manage drafts.
