You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

In [[software development]], a '''test suite''', less commonly known as a '''validation suite''', is a collection of [[test case]]s that are intended to be used to test a software program to show that it has some specified set of behaviors.<ref>((cite book |last1=Pinto |first1=Leandro Sales |last2=Sinha |first2=Saurabh |last3=Orso |first3=Alessandro |title=Proceedings of the ACM SIGSOFT 20th International Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering |chapter=Understanding myths and realities of test-suite evolution |date=11 November 2012 |pages=1–11 |doi=10.1145/2393596.2393634 |chapter-url=https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/2393596.2393634 |publisher=Association for Computing Machinery|isbn=9781450316149 |s2cid=9072512 ))</ref> A test suite often contains detailed instructions or goals for each collection of test cases and information on the system configuration to be used during testing. A group of test cases may also contain prerequisite states or steps, and descriptions of the following tests.

Collections of test cases are sometimes termed a [[test plan]], a [[test script]], or even a [[test scenario]].

==Types==
Occasionally, test suites are used to group similar test cases together. A system might have a smoke test suite that consists only of [[smoke testing (software)|smoke tests]] or a test suite for some specific functionality in the system. It may also contain all tests and signify if a test should be used as a smoke test or for some specific functionality.

In [[model-based testing]], one distinguishes between ''abstract test suites'', which are collections of abstract test cases derived from a high-level model of the [[system under test]], and ''executable test suites'', which are derived from abstract test suites by providing the concrete, lower-level details needed to execute this suite by a program.<ref>Hakim Kahlouche, César Viho, and Massimo Zendri, [http://cadp.inria.fr/vasy/publications/Kahlouche-Viho-Zendri-98.html "An Industrial Experiment in Automatic Generation of Executable Test Suites for a Cache Coherency Protocol"], Proc. International Workshop on Testing of Communicating Systems (IWTCS'98), Tomsk, Russia, September 1998.</ref> An abstract test suite cannot be directly used on the actual [[system under test]] (SUT) because abstract test cases remain at a high abstraction level and lack concrete details about the SUT and its environment. An executable test suite works on a sufficiently detailed level to correctly communicate with the SUT and a [[test harness]] is usually present to interface the executable test suite with the SUT.

A test suite for a [[primality]] testing [[subroutine]] might consist of a list of numbers and their primality (prime or composite), along with a testing subroutine. The testing subroutine would supply each number in the list to the primality tester, and verify that the result of each test is correct.
