 After running, `run_tests/1` exits with a status code of 0 if all tests that were run succeeded and
 1 otherwise. This makes it possible to check if tests pass inside scripts.
+
+# Setup and Teardown
+
+The testing framework supports setup and teardown hooks that run before and after each test:
+
+- `test_setup/0`: Runs before each test. Use this to initialize test fixtures or state.
+- `test_teardown/0`: Runs after each test, regardless of whether the test succeeds or fails.
+
+These predicates are optional. If they are not defined, the tests run normally without setup/teardown.
+
+Example:
+
+```prolog
+:- use_module(testing).
+:- use_module(my_module).
+
+:- dynamic(test_state/1).
+
+test_setup :-
+    retractall(test_state(_)),
+    assert(test_state(initialized)).
+
+test_teardown :-
+    retractall(test_state(_)).
+
+test("test with setup", (
+    test_state(initialized),
+    example(1)
+)).
+```
+
+The teardown hook is guaranteed to run even if the test fails or throws an exception, ensuring
+proper cleanup of resources.
