What are Clean-up Steps?
Clean-up Steps are special operations that always get executed at the end of a test, even when other steps fail, similar to a try/finally block in programming. They ensure proper cleanup and resource management even during errors. They’re declared at the end of your steps, whether manually or through the copilot.
When to Use Clean-up Steps
Clean-up Steps are particularly useful when you need to:
Clean up test data
Reset application state
Release system resources
Creating Clean-up Steps
1. Manual Creation
Go to the end of your test sequence
Click "Add a new clean-up step"
Choose your step type and fill in the required information
Click "OK" to confirm
2. Creation via Copilot:
When writing your prompt, specify that you need a "Clean-up Step" or "execution on failure" so our agent can create the appropriate Clean-up Step
Edit or Delete Clean-up Steps
Clean-up steps can be edited or deleted just like normal steps. Please refer to Edit Test Case steps section for detailed instructions.
⚠️ Important: While you can add multiple Clean-up steps, each one should serve a specific purpose. Avoid adding unnecessary cleanup steps that might slow down test execution.
