This might include:
- Initializing objects or variables.
- Setting up the test environment (e.g., configuring a database, starting a server).
- Creating test data. Logging in to an application.
- Navigating to a specific page or state in the application.
The goal of test setup is to bring the system under test into a known and consistent state so that the test results are reliable and repeatable.
