```
public class Suite
extends ParentRunner<Runner>
```
Using Suite as a runner allows you to manually build a suite containing tests from many classes. It is the JUnit 4 equivalent of the JUnit 3.8.x static Testsuite() method. To use it, annotate a class with @RunWith(Suite.class) and @SuiteClasses({TestClass1.class, ...}). When you run this class, it will run all the tests in all the suite classes.
Since:
4.0

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Class	Description
`static interface`	`Suite.SuiteClasses`	The `SuiteClasses` annotation specifies the classes to be run when a class annotated with `@RunWith(Suite.class)` is run.

Constructor Summary

Constructors
Modifier	Constructor	Description
`protected`	`Suite(Class<?> klass, Class<?>[] suiteClasses)`	Call this when the default builder is good enough.
`protected`	`Suite(Class<?> klass, List<Runner> runners)`	Called by this class and subclasses once the runners making up the suite have been determined
	`Suite(Class<?> klass, RunnerBuilder builder)`	Called reflectively on classes annotated with `@RunWith(Suite.class)`
	`Suite(RunnerBuilder builder, Class<?>[] classes)`	Call this when there is no single root class (for example, multiple class names passed on the command line to `JUnitCore`
`protected`	`Suite(RunnerBuilder builder, Class<?> klass, Class<?>[] suiteClasses)`	Called by this class and subclasses once the classes making up the suite have been determined

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`protected Description`	`describeChild(Runner child)`	Returns a `Description` for `child`, which can be assumed to be an element of the list returned by `ParentRunner.getChildren()`
`static Runner`	`emptySuite()`	Returns an empty suite.
`protected List<Runner>`	`getChildren()`	Returns a list of objects that define the children of this Runner.
`protected void`	`runChild(Runner runner, RunNotifier notifier)`	Runs the test corresponding to `child`, which can be assumed to be an element of the list returned by `ParentRunner.getChildren()`.
