The following includes information about how to use setup and teardown test cases.

Setup test cases

---

Setup test cases are designed to run at the beginning of your test case in order to declare and define conditions and variables. The primary benefit of using a setup test case is to simplify the process of making global changes to test case parameters. 

Note: If you have several test cases arranged in a test folder, the setup test case will always execute first.

Teardown test case

A teardown test case will execute at the end of your test run within a test folder. Teardown test cases are used to perform post test execution actions. For example, a teardown test case can be used to delete test data generated during test execution.

Note: If you have several test cases arranged in a test folder, the teardown test case will always execute last.
