We have at least ten test suites each having at least 10 test cases. I would like to know if there is a way to run selected tests from each of the suites in an order I would like?

For example with the following test folder structure:

|--------Tests
     |---Suite 1
         |-------Test 1
         |-------Test 2
         |-------Test 3
     |---Suite 2
         |-------Test 1
         |-------Test 2
         |-------Test 3
     |---Suite 3
         |-------Test 1
         |-------Test 2
         |-------Test 3

Now I want to run the tests in the order for example as below,

  1. Suite 1 - Test Case 3
  2. Suite 2 - Test Case 2
  3. Suite 1 - Test Case 2
  4. Suite 3 - Test Case 3

Please note that the tests are not in any random fashion but has a specific meaning for us. Basically, I have a lot of feature tests separated by specific feature type and each has more tests. Whenever I would like to perform some smoke/sanity tests I would want only certain tests to be executed.

  • Does the order really matter? For the smoke/sanity test scope you could add specific tags to test cases you want and then run this narrow scope with robot --include smoke /Tests. In this case the order possibly would be S1T2, S1T3, S2T2, S3T3.

Unfortunately, the best workaround for this is to use prefixes with underscores, as it is mentioned in the User Guide.

For example:

01__my_suite.html -> First test case/suite to be executed.

02__another_suite.html -> Second test case/suite to be executed.
