Setups

What it is

Setups define pre-run configuration that executes before test suites run. Use setups to prepare test data, configure state, or execute prerequisite actions before your tests begin.

How to use

1. Navigate to Testing → Setups in the sidebar
2. Click New Setup to create a setup
3. Define the actions to execute
4. Assign the setup to test suites

Configuration Options

• Name: A descriptive identifier for the setup
• Actions: The sequence of operations to perform
• Variables: Data to make available during setup

Use Cases

• Create test users or data in your system
• Reset state between test runs
• Configure feature flags or settings
• Authenticate and obtain tokens
• Seed databases with test data

Key Features

• Reusable across suites: Define once, use in multiple test suites
• Action execution: Run any configured action as part of setup
• Variable passing: Pass setup results to tests as variables

Tips

• Keep setups focused on a single purpose
• Use descriptive names (e.g., “Create Test User”, “Reset Demo Data”)
• Test setups independently before attaching to suites
• Consider cleanup actions for teardown scenarios
