How to test inserts into a database?

Question

Laravel

There are tests that are loaded into the database - this is one type of test.
Accordingly, in the same class, you need to do some checks, for example, how many records have been added:

function testUpdate(){}

function testCountRows(){}

At the same time, the database does not need to be littered - it is necessary to somehow clean it up.
The Laravel trait DatabaseTransactions is executed on every test (method) and this is not a solution - the testCountRows method will no longer show anything, the transaction will be rolled back.

How to do the right thing?
