# Create and organize tests

> Create suites and cases, use module and tags, and deprecate tests you no longer run.

You organize like a good workbook: tabs (suites), area column (module), labels (tags). You do not get nested suite folders from the create-suite list (`parent_suite_id` stays null).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create suite">
    **Test Suites** to **Create suite**. One concern per suite when you can.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add cases">
    **Add First Case** / add more. Prefer `active` only for what you'll run this cycle. `draft` = still writing. `deprecated` = leftover from a pack or last year, keep for history but don't select into the cycle.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Module and tags">
    Module = "Payments" / "Search". Tags = `smoke`, `mobile`, client name: whatever you'll filter on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Persona and time">
    `required_persona_id` and `estimated_duration_minutes` help assignments and quoting. Optional, useful on bigger jobs.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Pick cycle `case_ids` deliberately. Installing a thorough pack then selecting all will make the cycle too large. Uncheck on install, or deselect in the cycle.
