Before you begin
A test suite record contains a ordered list of configured test case
records. Before creating a test suite record, determine which iteration and
configuration records will apply to the test suite record. Before you can
create a test suite record, you must have already created an asset registry
record.
Note: You must ensure that the test suite record specifies the same
platform as that of the Rational® ClearQuest® Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse on which
the test suite record will be executed.
