A collection of test cases designed to verify the functionality and performance of software applications or systems.
Compound word from 'test' (from Old French 'test' meaning pot or crucible, used metaphorically for trials) and 'suite' (from French 'suite' meaning sequence or set). This computing term emerged in the 1960s with the development of systematic software testing methodologies.
The word 'suite' in testsuite carries the same meaning as in 'hotel suite' or 'furniture suite' - a coordinated set of related items. Software testing borrowed this elegant term to describe coordinated sets of tests that work together to validate a system.
