Cleaning up test data for Pega unit test cases

After a rule is run as part of the test case, it is important to remove the test data, pages, and objects that are created as part of the Pega unit test case to ensure that data is not duplicated when the test is run the next time.

You can configure steps to cleanup the test data after the test case is run, using the Cleanup section under the Setup & Cleanup tab on the Pega unit test case Rule form as shown in the following image.

You can select the Clean up the test data at the end of run checkbox for automatic cleanup of the data. Selecting this checkbox automatically removes the following pages from the system at the end of the test case:

• User pages
• Data pages
• Parameter pages

You can include additional steps to remove data that is not automatically cleaned up by configuring the following actions under the Cleanup section:

• Apply data transform
• Execute activity
