<br></blockquote><div style>If I understand correctly, when backupGlobals is set to true, before each test globals are backed up and restored after test execution. So any changes done to globals by the test do not propagate to the next test. Ideally each test should setup variables required for it and should not depend on other tests to set up variable values.</div>
