Hello,

I am a developer now need to work with ATF as well, I am learning ATF and stuck with one small query

What is the difference between "Test Suite Tests" and "Child Test Suites" ? 

Thanks in advance

Hi @anvitha ash I believe that the child test suites also run when the parent does. So as an example,

ATF Parent:  ITSM
Tests:
1. x
2. y
3. z

Child suites:
1. Incident
Tests:
1. x
2. y
3. z

2. Problem
Tests:
1. x
2. y
3. z
3. Change Request
Tests:
1. x
2. y
3. z

When you run the parent it also runs the other suits associated with it.

Please mark as helpful or if this has resolved the issue, CORRECT!

TEST SUITE TESTS:   The tests that *this* test suite contains.
CHILD TEST SUITES:   The tests that children of this test suite contains.

Its so you don't have to populate data in multiple places in cases where your Test Suite runs other Test Suites.
