On “Unit Testing”

You can watch these two by Nick: The cleanest way to use Docker for testing in .NET The BEST way to reset your database for testing in .NET If you want a full course I can recommend his course From Zero to Hero: Integration testing in ASP.NET Core, it's paid but money well spent. I recommend using TestContainers for dotnet. Very easy to spin up any database for your test suite and then dispose it after the test run is done.

On “Is this good test practice?”

I would recommend Testcontainers, it’s a library that lets you easily spin up docker containers from your test code. It effectively lets you create an “in-memory” database instance using the real thing, so you don’t have to worry about those testing quirks that you’ve mentioned. Nick Chapsas has a great video on how to use it. link to this video
