How to choose which test suite to run on my helm release

I want to run different test suites on my helm release in different (partly manual) CI jobs.

How do I best execute these test suites from a CI job?


Details:

With a single test suite, helm test is very helpful. But how can I easily tell helm test which test suite to execute?

Currently, I have only two test suites A and B and an environment variable SUITE I inject via helm install. The test job decides based on the value of SUITE which test suite to execute. But this injection is complex and I would like to have the possibility to execute multiple test suites sequentially or concurrently.

Thus I created two helm charts A.yaml and B.yaml. Can I somehow call helm test with a specific helm chart, e.g. helm test general/A.yaml (see Can Helm test be used to run separate suites?)?

If not, what is the best approach? Using deployment-A and deployment-B with instances 0 and scale a deployment to 1 when we want to execute it? How do I then communicate the (un-)successful test execution (and log output) back to CI (gitlab in my case)?
