My Testing Thoughts

Your test results are mostly as good as the test data it consumes. What should be our Test data cleanup strategy in automation? -> Should we clean up the data immediately after each and every run? OR, Should we perform the clean slate periodically? It's hard to find one strategy that can solve all our test data issues in our automation suite. So, instead of focusing on finding that silver bullet, think thoroughly about your own test requirements and see which strategy can bring in max stability in your automation suite instead of following blindly what others are doing. I know you are still not sure that which particular strategy is right for your automation suite or not? Don't rush, after a few tests run your test suite itself will let you learn by generating issues like flaky tests/intermittent failures, false positives, slowness/performance issues, etc. etc. Please go through this well-crafted article on "Test Data Strategies" by @Joe Colantonio/@P
