A test suite is a set of tests designed to check the functionality and performance of the software. It collects individual test cases based on their specific purpose or characteristics.

The Azure Test Plans contain and configure test suites and individual test cases. Test suites are the collection of test cases. So, when you create a test plan, you must create test suites within it. Three types of test suites…

Static-based: You can use these test cases to group out other test suites or test cases.
Requirement based: These test suites are the basic test suites. They pull all the test cases for a given requirement.
Query based: these test suites pull a group of test cases from your project as per the requirement.
