I’m looking for something equivalent to JUnit setUp() and tearDown() methods. In other words: I have a test suite; I would like to write a setup test case and a teardown test case. The setup test case would be executed before each test in the suite. The teardown test case would be executed after each test in the suite.
How?
It sounds to me like you’re at the point where you need to export your tests from Selenium IDE into another format/language. Selenium IDE is great for quick prototyping of tests or for showing off what Selenium can do, but when you actually begin to build a library of tests, you need to use a real programming language. Setup and Teardown are a part of every major testing suite (you mentioned JUnit but also TestNG, NUnit and MSTest for C#, etc) so use one! Using a real programming language also allows you to refactor your tests, extracting common functionality into classes and methods so that when your Application Under Test changes, you only need to change one method and not 100 tests. Most testing frameworks also support some sort of data driven testing which many Selenium users find useful.
