resetForTests
resetForTests is a convention in software testing for restoring a predictable, clean state between tests. It typically refers to a function, method, or helper that reinitializes program state so that tests do not influence one another. The exact implementation varies by project, language, and framework, but the goal is consistent: achieve test isolation and determinism.
The function usually addresses several kinds of state. It may clear or reinitialize caches, reset in-memory
Common usage patterns involve invoking resetForTests at the beginning of a test, after each test, or as
Design considerations include ensuring completeness of reset (covering all relevant global and module-level state), minimizing performance

resetForTests helps keep tests deterministic and easier to reason about by limiting cross-test contamination.
