Check out my courses: dometrain.com Become a Patreon and get source code access: patreon.com/nickchapsas Hello everybody I'm Nick and in this video I will show you what I think is the best way to reset your database to a clean state, every time you run a test. This works great with integration testing but other forms of testing can use the same technique.

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.
