Activate when writing or reviewing an Apex test class. @TestSetup controls one-time data creation shared across every test method, Test.startTest()/Test.stopTest() define the governor-reset boundary, and System.runAs defines which user the test impersonates. Getting any of these wrong produces tests that pass flakily, misreport coverage, or exercise the wrong user context.
