 A Pre-Condition is like defining the step "0" for your tests. This is very useful in many use cases where you have to start by doing exactly the same thing. For example, if you are going to do something on a system, you most probably have to authenticate first, right? But sometimes, you have to do several things  (e.g., restore DB, authenticate) before going through your Test steps. And each of those things may be done and used independently, i.e., some Tests may require just restoring the DB, another may require just to authentication, and others may require both things or more.
