Test setup methods can be time-saving when you need to create reference or prerequisite data for all test methods, or a common set of records that all test methods operate on. Test setup methods can reduce test execution times especially when you’re working with many records. Tes t setup methods enable you to create common test data easily and efficiently.

Also, because the rollback of records that are created during test setup happens at the end of the execution of the entire class, the number of records that are rolled back is reduced. As a result, system resources are used more efficiently compared to creating those records and having them rolled back for each test method @isTest private class CommonTestSetup { @...
