What are Teardown Steps?
Teardown Steps are special cleanup operations that always get executed, 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 chat. These steps are easily identifiable with a special icon.
When to Use Teardown Steps
Teardown Steps are particularly useful when you need to:
Clean up test data
Reset application state
Release system resources
Creating Teardown Steps
A- Manual Creation
Go to the end of your test sequence
Click on the "Teardown Steps" dropdown
Click "Add a new teardown step"
Choose your step type and fill in the required information
Click "OK" to confirm
B- Creation via Chat:
When writing your prompt, specify that you need a "Teardown Step" or "execution on failure" so our agent can create the appropriate Teardown Step
Edit or Delete Teardown Steps
Teardown 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 teardown steps, each one should serve a specific purpose. Avoid adding unnecessary cleanup steps that might slow down test execution.
