📄 中文摘要
在测试购物车应用时，确保在运行测试之前购物车为空是至关重要的。如果购物车不为空，需要删除其中的所有商品。这是因为如果购物车在上一次测试运行中崩溃，可能未能完成清理阶段。作为 QA 工程师，这个阶段被称为 '测试设置' 或 '设置前置条件'，与 Bill Wake 提出的 '安排/执行/断言' 方法论相一致。通过这种方式，QA 工程师能够确保测试环境的准确性和一致性，从而提高测试的有效性。
为什么 QA 工程师称之为 '测试设置' 而开发者称之为 '数据填充'？- 与 Claude.ai 的对话

Why do QA Engineers call it 'Test Setup' while DEVs call it 'Seeding'? - Conversations with Claude.ai
When testing a shopping cart application, it is crucial to ensure that the cart is empty before running the test. If the cart is not empty, all items need to be deleted. This is important because if the cart had crashed during the previous test run, the cleanup stage might not have been completed. As a QA Engineer, this stage is referred to as 'Test Setup' or 'Setting up the Pre-Condition,' aligning with Bill Wake's 'Arrange / Act / Assert' methodology. This approach allows QA Engineers to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the testing environment, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the tests.
