Not doing it yet? That’s the right time to start then! In this little example, I’m going to show a possible procedure to easily test your piece of code that interacts with a database. Doing database integration tests, you will generally need few things for each test case: Setup test data in one or more tables (setup) Run the under-test functionality Check actual state on database is as expected (assertions) Clear all for the next test (teardown) If not done carefully, most of these steps could bring more-than-wanted lines of code.
