Preconditions

A precondition refers to a specific set of conditions or circumstances that must be met or established before a test case can be executed. It defines the initial state or context required for the test case to run successfully and produce accurate and reliable results. Precondition ensures that the system or application being tested is in the desired state and meets the necessary prerequisites for the test.
