  2. Step 2: Apply to Flask app context management

    Yield lets you push app context before test and pop it after test.

    It allows running teardown code after the test finishes -> Option C

  4. Quick Check:

    Yield enables setup and teardown in fixtures [OK]
Quick Trick: Use yield to run cleanup after tests [OK]
