# Run a Group

URL: https://docs.testvibe.com/run-tests/run-group

Run a group when you want more coverage than a single scenario without executing the entire suite. Groups are useful for smoke checks around one feature area, such as sign-in, checkout, billing, onboarding, or admin workflows.

## Before you start

Make sure the group contains generated Playwright tests. TestVibe can select Gherkin feature files, but a run can only execute tests that have runnable Playwright code.

Also confirm:

| Item | What to check | Site URL | The URL should point to the environment you want the group to test. | Shared setup | Tests in the group should agree on login state, seed data, and dependencies. | Run configuration | Choose the browser and viewport combination you want to validate. | Site access | The cloud test session must be able to reach the target site; use a tunnel device for private apps. 

## Run from Features

1. Open **Features** .
2. Select the group you want to run.
3. Choose the group run action.
4. Review the selected tests.
5. Confirm the **Environment** .
6. Select one or more **Run Configurations** .
7. Start the run.
When TestVibe opens the run form from a group, the tests in that group are preselected so you can confirm the scope before starting.

## Run from Runs

1. Open **Runs** .
2. Select **New Run** .
3. Check the group in the test list.
4. Add or remove individual tests if you need to adjust the scope.
5. Under **Environment** , pick the environment to run against (or a Custom URL).
6. Select one or more **Run Configurations** .
7. Start the run.
Checking a group selects its child runnable tests. Clearing the group removes those tests from the run selection.

## Review grouped results

After the run starts, the run details page shows live progress and then the final results. Use the grouped result rows to answer three questions:

| Question | Where to look | Did the feature area pass? | Overall run status and pass/fail counts. | Which scenario failed? | Failed test rows in the Tests tab. | Why did it fail? | Screenshots, videos, traces, console output, and network details.
