About this task
In Test Management 2.0, a test plan is broken into test cycles, and test cycles are broken into test execution suites. A test cycle represents a phase or iteration of testing within a test plan, such as regression testing or smoke testing. A test execution suite is the smallest unit of organization, containing the individual test assignments for testers.
Use the Planning tab to manage this hierarchy from a single view. For more information about key terms, see Test Management 2.0 overview.
