Teardown

Automatically clean up after your tests

Teardown automatically cleans up artifacts created during test execution. This cleanup can happen through UI interactions (using the app’s interface) or programmatically via javascript step.

Configure teardown in the steps section of your test case panel. Select which test should run as cleanup after your main test completes.

Viewing teardown results

After your test runs, teardown results appear with a status indicator:

• Green checkmark: Teardown succeeded
• Red cross: Teardown failed

Since all teardown steps are optional, a failing teardown does not lead to the overall test run being failed.

Only the steps of the teardown test itself will run during cleanup—dependencies of the teardown test are ignored. Teardown tests should not have their own teardown configured.

Teardown and dependencies

If your test has a dependency that itself has a teardown configured, we will execute it whenever the test case is ran (after). The execution order is:

Singular dependency:

1. dependency
2. test
3. teardown of test
4. teardown of dependency

Chained dependencies:

Dependencies execute in order, but their teardowns run in reverse:

1. dependency 1
2. dependency 2
3. test
4. teardown of test
5. teardown of dependency 2
6. teardown of dependency 1

This ensures proper cleanup order, with the most recent changes cleaned up first.
