Extend PegaUnit setup and cleanup capabilities using custom fixtures
Valid from Pega Version 8.6
The set up and clean up capabilities in the PegaUnit framework are now customizable through the use of custom fixtures. Custom fixtures extend the default testing functionality and allow you to define and implement specific runtime actions, such as running a specific test case during set up or sending an email after testing has completed execution.
