# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
## How do I run global setup/teardown only if tests will be run?
Write a custom [event listener](event-listeners.md#top) and place the
global setup/teardown code into the `testRun*` events.
## How do I clean up global state between running different tests?
Write a custom [event listener](event-listeners.md#top) and place the
cleanup code into either `testCase*` or `testCasePartial*` events,
depending on how often the cleanup needs to happen.
## Why cannot I derive from the built-in reporters?
They are not made to be overriden, in that we do not attempt to maintain
a consistent internal state if a member function is overriden, and by
forbidding users from using them as a base class, we can refactor them
as needed later.
