Overview of test suites

In Opkey, a suite is a collection of test cases for execution. There may be one or more than one test cases/gherkin files for execution. Each test case in a suite should be complete in itself and independent of other test cases. You can add, remove, move up/down test cases and rearrange them as per their order of execution.

Advantages of using Opkey Cloud

Maximum utilization of the available shared resources (virtual servers and other resources)
The flexible, scalable environment helps you to utilize and pay for the resources as per the demand
Low operational cost & high ROI
Accessible from anywhere

Considering these advantages of a cloud environment, we have integrated Opkey with an advanced feature – Run on Cloud, which provides the end-user the capability to execute the created test scripts on a cloud environment remotely.

To work with Opkey Cloud, you just need to follow few simple steps as described further.
