# Running Selective Test Suites

> Guide to selecting and running specific test suites using checkboxes and bulk actions

Keploy allows you to select specific test suites from your test collection and perform bulk actions like running tests, deleting suites, or adding labels. 

## Overview

The selective test suite feature provides:

- **Checkbox Selection**: Choose individual test suites or select all
- **Bulk Actions**: Perform actions on multiple suites simultaneously
- **Filtered Execution**: Run only the tests you've selected

## Selecting Test Suites

- Useful for applying actions to your entire test collection

#### Select by Filter

2. Use "Select All" to choose all filtered results
3. Only suites matching your criteria will be selected

## Available Actions

Once you've selected test suites, several bulk actions become available:
