Adam, When I wish to add, edit and delete an item I would either: - do it all in a single test - split it into 3 tests and would write code that allows me to setup the application before each of them and check the state of the application after each of them in a way completely independent of the UI - for example by going directly to the DB or using something like Groovy Remote Control ( https://github.com/alkemist/remote-control, unfortunately undocumented)
I would never split it into three tests and setup them to run in a particular order.
