When I start Ranorex Studio with nothing loaded, I can create a solution. A solution contains test cases, and a test case contains recordings. Where does the term "test suite" fit into this hierarchy? And into which category fall the STARTUP and TEARDOWN items?
Thank you

A question on terminology
Re: A question on terminology
A Solution contains Projects. A Project may contain multiple Test Suites. Each Test Suite may contain multiple Test Cases.
Any folder like item in your Test Suite may have Setup and Teardown items - they might be a Smart Folder (for organisation), or a Test Case.

Re: A question on terminology
@Stub, thank you for this explanation. I understand that a solution corresponds with a *.rxsln file, a test suite with a *.rxtst file, and a recording with a *.rxrec file (and each of these items has several more files connected to them). A test case and a smart folder seem not to have any associated files, is that correct? Smart folders can contain smart folders and test cases?
I find it interesting that you can have SETUP and TEARDOWN items at several levels. Are they executed in a stack-like manner, test suite SETUP -> smart folder SETUP -> recording SETUP and recording TEARDOWN -> smart folder TEARDOWN -> test suite TEARDOWN?
